Chefs Hannah Ziskin & Aliza Sokolow (Los Angeles)

The December 2021 Hanukkah Holiday Hummus features 2 amazing Jewish LA chefs!

Hannah Ziskin is the pastry chef behind cottage bakery House of Gluten, and partner at soon-to-open Quarter Sheets Pizza in Echo Park. Her cakes feature seasonal produce, local grains, and embrace the mantra “not too sweet.”

 Flavor: Roasted Carrot & Walnut - Fresh, salted, carrots oven-baked, and blended with Social Hummus base. Topped with baharat-spiced, honey, toasted walnuts & edible mini flowers.

Aliza J. Sokolow is coming out with her first book THIS IS WHAT I EAT with Random House Kids books in 2023. In pandemic, she started This is What I Baked, making beautiful challah, for charity. Prior, she worked as a food stylist and photographer for both digital and print, starting her career with Jamie Oliver. 

 Flavor: Ode to Mhzh - Pickled golden raisins with toasted pine nuts. A perfect sweet-savory combo. A nostalgic nod to the former Siverlake hotspot, Mhzh, which inspired this recipe!

*Charity: Chosen by the chefs, profits from this month's sales will go to World Central Kitchen - a reputable organization using the power of food to nourish communities and strengthen economies through times of crisis and beyond.
