Temple Micah

Hark, the dinner bell is ringing for all latke cooks and latke lovers! Get a jumpstart on Hanukkah at Temple Micah’s 2nd Annual Latke Cook-Off on Saturday, Dec. 20. The event benefits this friendly, inclusive reform congregation led by Rabbi Adam Morris at 2600 Leyden St.The first cook-off drew over 100 enthusiasts,with entrants competing for culinary prizes by submitting their favorite recipes for latkes and condiments.Most participants were content to nosh and vote on the contestants’ samples. These recipes plus little-known latke lore comprised a souvenir cookbook. Such a luscious time was had by all that Temple Micah plans to stage its cook-off this winter at a fully equipped kitchen, where latke chefs can cook on site instead of reheating home-made treats. To enter latkes or to be a taster, contact Lori Goldman, fundraising subcommittee chair, via the Temple Micah office at (303) 388- 4239 or office@micahdenver.org.To find out more about TempleMicah, visit us online at www.micahdenver.org.
