Passover Seder
Seder is the Hebrew word for order, organization. The Passover Seder is a festive meal that is conducted in an organized way so that all the mitzvot (God's commandments) of Pesach (Passover) will be performed. Enjoy these Seder menus and recipes.
Charoset
From my earliest memories, charoset was my favorite Pesach Seder dish. Charoset might look like the mortar the Israelite slaves used in their building, but it tastes like heaven. Enjoy these various recipes for Passover charoset.
Passover Soups
While Matzo Ball Soup is a Passover favorite, there are many other soups that work well for this Spring holiday. Since many soup recipes do not contain chametz anyway, often there is no need to make Passover ingredient adjustments to soup recipes. And soup is a great way to balance the heaviness of other Passover dishes. Enjoy this varied collection of Passover Soup recipes.
Passover Salads
The food eaten during Passover tends to be heavy and fattening. Since most salads do not contain chametz, making a kosher for Passover salad is easy. Lighten your Passover Seder menu by including these cold, fresh salads.
