Posted on April 20, 2011
With the release date for my new book Gluten-Free Cupcakes, bearing down on me less than one week from today, I feel as though Passover really snuck up on me this year. I did not post any Passover Menus, though do have ones from years past for those that might be looking for a good

Beet Maror
Posted on March 30, 2010
Making maror for your Passover Seder is a cinch (even though it can be just a tad dangerous). Let me explain… While DIY maror is a lot of fun, be sure to proceed with caution. I make my maror in the food processor; danger can arise when you open the lid and the trapped horseradish

Roasted Chicken with Olives and Prunes
Posted on April 3, 2009
Are you spending too much time on the computer? That’s a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately. After reading this article in The Atlantic and finding out about this new site that calculates the amount of time spent on twitter, I’ve really been pondering this matter. I haven’t been pondering it too much

Sesame Cookies
Posted on March 31, 2009
These Sesame Cookies are yet another Passover friendly dessert recipe. I wouldn’t necessarily have thought of making cookies with sesame. Why? Because I am surrounded by several choco-holics and bake primarily to their tastes. Let’s just say that the brownie recipe I posted a few weeks ago is still getting good play around here. My

Chipotle Orange Chicken

Passover Torte
Posted on April 11, 2008
Ok, so in yesterday’s “reach out and touch someone” post I failed. In fact, I fell flat. On my face. Do you know how many comments were posted? One. Not much community in one post. To cheer myself up, I can always read some Dooce. That woman makes me laugh out loud. Or I can

Horseradish: Make Your Own Maror
Posted on April 6, 2008
As part of the Passover Seder, we eat a bitter herb, to remind us of the bitter times our people have faced. Many use horseradish for this ritual. I grew up eating Manischewitz brand ground horseradish from a jar at our Seders, with no concept whatsoever of where this pungent herb came from. In fact,

Charoset
Posted on April 2, 2008
Charoset is one of my favorite Passover foods. During the Seder, this sweet, fruity dish holds a special, symbolic place, reminding us of the mortar which the Jews used to bond bricks while enslaved in Egypt. European Jews (Ashkenazi) traditionally use nuts, apples, cinnamon and sweet wine for this dish. Jews of Middle Eastern descent
