3. Forget courgetti or doodles - or whatever silly portmanteau given to spiralised veg. Put your spiraliser to far better use to make these crunchy potato and spring onion cakes which set VERY well under a layer of smoked salmon and dill creme fraiche.
4. Spaghetti flavoured with sun dried tomatoes, garlic and chives makes a novel alternative to veggies in Denise Phillips' novel Chanukah nests. Dip them in tomato chutney and sprinkle with parmesan for a tasty treat.
5. Your five-a-day will be easy with a plateful of these spice-packed, rainbow latkes from Fabienne Viner-Luzzato. They are positively health food!
6. If you don't like apple sauce on your savoury latke - and I confess - it's not really my thing, these apple latkes (from Fabienne Viner-Luzzato) may be your tasty alternative. They're perhaps a little more pancake than latke, but I'm not complaining!
7. While we're on a sweet kick, these butternut, ginger and cranberry latkes are the bomb! Full of flavour - you will not be able to stop eating them, I guarantee.
8. And because these are my new favourite thing, stuffed latkes are a must for this year's festivities. Stuff with salt beef, grated cheese or whatever takes your fancy. Most definitely not health food, but a delicious way to mark the occasion.
