My friends at Zabar’s, our favorite landmark New York gourmet superstore, are offering my readers another chance to win a fabulous food prize! To celebrate the holiday season and all things delicious, Zabar’s has put together a tasty prize, indeed…
Babka & Rugelach Crate (Kosher)
A classic gift with timeless treats. Babka (from the Russian word for “grandmother”) is made by folding and twisting layers of amazing chocolate into delicious, rich dough. Rugelach means “little twist” in Yiddish, and we’ve twisted ours around aromatic cinnamon. We load up our reusable “Zabar’s is NY” wooden crate with a Zabar’s chocolate babka, Zabar’s cinnamon rugelach, a Zabar’s chocolate bar, a pound of Zabar’s Special Blend vacuum packed coffee, a Zabar’s coffee mug, a Zabar’s coffee scoop, and instructions on brewing the perfect cup. Part of Zabar’s Gift Boxes, Gift Baskets, and Gift Crates Collection.
How awesome is that?? Mmmmm, babka. It’s easy to enter!

Zabars and The Shiksa site (a lot)
Wow, this is a toughy. I like different holiday foods on different yom tovim. My favorite Chanukah food has got to be latkes but I have many memories of eating rugelach with my family as well.
latkes and apple cider
And I like The Shiksa and Zabar’s on Facebook!
I absolutely love Stollen stuffed with almond paste and warmed in the oven. Then spread just a little dab (big slab, LOL) of butter and let it melt in. OMG!
Already liked Shiksa on FB!!!! Just liked Zabar’s on FB too!
I love latkes and my favorite dessert is babkah
I like both websites and good treats.
My favorite holiday treat is my late mother’s Hawai’ian Honey Cake. I was fortunate enough to have received the recipe from her before she passed from this world. Why Hawai’ian? It is laced with pineapple. I would be willing to share the recipe.
Oops, I liked Zabars and of course The Shiksa… and love my latkes with applesauce!
My favorite holiday food is the breakfast quiche my sister makes.
My favorite treat is Rainbow Cookies. I grew up with these being sold at the bakery down the block. Now I need to travel to Los Angeles to get them or make them myself.
I guess I forgot to say I liked both pages.
That looks amazing! I love a good latke around Hanukkah. I can for sure make use of that basket too!
Our favorite holiday latkas and anything chocolate!
And I have liked you and Zabars on Facebook.
strangly enough i like chex party mix that seems to have always been around at my house during the holidays,also i like Zabars & the Shiksa on facebook
There are a lot of favorite holiday foods, some I have been eating all my life. Potato Latkes with applesauce. Sweet potato souffle with pecan topping. Lefse rolled up with brown sugar and butter inside and heated in the oven. Stuffing eggs( left over stuffing in an egg omelet). Like the Shiska, and now like Zabar’s. Happy Holidays and good eatin …
If it’s Chanukah then my favorite food is latkes – all kinds. Although I also make eggrolls for the holiday – it’s the oil thing.
I already like The Shiksa and Zabars on FB.
latkes for Chanukah hands down!
Tough call….but I’ll say latkas. I like (LOVE, really) Zabars and the Shiksa on FB.
You had me at Rugelach!
Potato latkas by far! (missing my Nana’s, they were THE BEST!)
I have always liked Zabar’s and The Shiksa on FB, way before this contest!!!
favorite holiday food is matzo ball soup.
Babka and Rugelech are Southern Jewish comfort food!
Brisket and Latkes with Sour Cream and Apple Sauce!!!
i love the rugelach and babka !!!!
My favorite holiday food is brisket with a good kasha knish from Zabar’s. I like the Shiksa and Zabar’s on Facebook.
Macaroni and cheese smothered in gravy!
And I ‘liked’ both!
My favorite is homemade caramel rolls, I also like homemade monkey bread
I’m not afraid to say it….FRUITCAKE! And I have liked you and Zabars on FB too.
GREAT give away!!
Creamed onions! We always make them for Thanksgiving and I remember how good they are and make them all December til I get sick of them and put them away until next Thanksgiving.
And I like shiksa and Zabars on Facebook.
This is difficult, I guess my favorite holiday treat would be my bourbon balls. For a savory dish it would be my mother’s rolls.
I liked both pages on facebook.
I love this website with such unique recipes and show n’ tell.
I love sweet potato pie, bread pudding, & cinnamon rolls during the holidays. I’d like the recipe for Sweet potato casserole with marshmallows. sounds yummy.
Favorite is eggnog. & Liked on facebook!
I love LATKES!!!!!!!!
But I also love babka!
My favorite holiday food? Latkes!!! My best friend makes them with salmon and they are DELICIOUS!!!
I’m also a fan of both Zabar’s and The Shiksa in the Kitchen on facebook.
My favorite Holiday food is a Raspberry Rugelach. I am so excited to be entering this contest as we don’t have anything like Zabar’s in Y-Town. I’ve liked both pages (already a liker on The Shiksa). This Crate would make our Holiday complete.
I love me some chocolate rugelach! I have liked both pages and they both rock!
My favorite holiday treat is hot white chocolate!
My favorite holiday food. . .depends on the holiday you are talking about! Hanukkah has to be latkes with applesauce and sour cream. The latkes have to be salty and crispy! High holidays is my Nana’s Honey Cake recipe! The best recipe ever. Although my kugel comes in a close second. Pesach has to be my matzo brie. Those babka in the picture – I would break my diet for a taste!
I also liked Zabar’s and The Shiksa on Facebook!
My grandmother would always make Buñuelos this time of the year, they are amazing!!!
Now its my turn to make them this year.
I also liked both Zabar’s and the Shiksa on Facebook!
Thanks
My favorite holiday food is my mom’s twice baked potatoes. She only makes them for the holidays, so I spend all year looking forward to them!
my favorite holiday food is my mamas potatos au gratin…its just warm and perfect for every holiday:)
I definitely like Zabar’s and the Shiksa Goddess on Facebook!
Anything involving warm cinnamon is a bonus holiday food for me! (rugelach!)
Already ‘liked’ both the Shiksa and Zabar’s!
This is perfect, I love Rugelach, but my husband LOVES Babka. He has requested it for every holiday gathering, even as his birthday cake! This would be such a treat!
Thank you so much,

I love a lot of foods, but one of my favorites was always the chocolate chip cheese strudel that I used to get only at Zabars.
I love chocolate and cinnamon ruguluh! And of course latkes!
