Faith and the gang celebrate Hanukkah with Leah Koenig, the author of Little Book of Jewish Feasts. Once you’ve tried Leah’s cinnamon-dusted fried chicken, you’ll never make fried chicken any other way. Plus, get the recipe for Balsamic and Brown Sugar Brisket and more of our favorite kitchen tips, including one from a listener in Old Lyme. Mark Raymond pours the new vintage of a perennial favorite wine, and Faith shares the results of a Cooks Illustrated taste test: Which butters are best? She also tips you off to two New York City must-dos: a hot chocolate cart for the holidays and Boulay at Home.
