New kosher bakery enhances JP Chanukah celebrations

The program directors, staff, and volunteers working with The Jewish Pavilion have earned a well-deserved rest after filling and distributing approximately 450+ holiday bags and conducting an average of 26 programs in Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care and Long-Term Health facilities throughout Central Florida.

In an effort to make the celebrations special, each year I look around for unique foods that enhance the holidays. Latkes, the favorite treat for Chanukah, are prepared and served in each of the facilities. It's hard to determine which dining chef prepares the best recipe. Along with latkes, the Israeli tradition for eating fried donuts has infiltrated our celebrations. I was thrilled to learn of a new kosher bakery and dairy restaurant named Krembo in Dr. Phillips. The owner, David, is an Israeli from Holon who has brought his boutique-style delicacies to the Orlando area. Not only are they attractive to the eye, but delicious to the palette.The restaurant/bakery is located at 8015 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando 32819.
