Serve Noodle Raisin Kugel As Part Of Hanukkah Feast

The Associated Press

For Hanukkah, serve this noodle raisin kugel. Drape your table with a blue satin tablecloth. Set the kugel in a silver serving dish in the center of the table. Fill star-shaped cookie cutters with wax crystals and place tall Hanukkah candles in their center. Star-shaped napkins may be made and placed on the table for added effect.
