The Seder- Dinner Recipes

Nothng brings about Jewish food angst like Passover, when everyone starts scrounging around for those family Jewish recipes that fit the kosher for Passover mold. These gourmet kosher for Passover recipes can help you host an elegant seder dinner with a fair amount of ease, and best of all, they are so delicious, you'll actually want to eat them all year round. Non-Jewish friends expecting "weird food" were delightfully surprised, as were Jewish friends who didn't realize that eating for Passover could be so creative. I've had as many as 25 people over for seder dinner, and while that was a lot of quantity of food to handle, the recipes themselves were not part of the problem. To make things easier on you the day of your event, some recipes can and should be made a day or two before the seder. I also leave making the charoset and side dishes for last, and have early arriving guests help with cutting vegetables. Many people who don't know each other have bonded as sous chefs in my kitchen! I have not included any recipes for Passover Rolls because even though people always make them, in my opinion, they're never that great and what's the point of eating more carbs and fake bread if it's not as good as the real stuff anyway--save the carbs for the matza brei at next morning's breakfast! With all this other great-tasting Passover food and the decadently delicious Passover desserts, trust me, your guests (and your waistline) won't miss the bread at dinner! For those looking for vegetarian and vegan Passover recipes, you'll find some great ones here, and please note that a lot of the vegetarian recipes can be made vegan just by using olive oil instead of butter. I've also included a few breakfast and brunch Passover recipes at the end for those who are willing to cook for breakfast, need a replacement for their morning bowl of cereal and think the Passover cereals don't quite make the culinary grade. Oh, and it's assumed that if you care about Kosher for Passover certification you will buy labeled ingredients. All items in these recipes are technically OK to eat for passover and should be available in certified packaging, with the exception of quinoa, which is technically OK, but hard to find in a marked package, and tahini paste, peas & beans, which as legumes are not kosher for passover under Ashkenazic rules, but are OK to eat according to Sephardic customs.

Please note: Anyone who wants to link to this page or any individual recipe page is welcome to, but if you copy a recipe, please be sure it's for your own personal use and not to sell or include as part of any other collection. Newspapers or other media publications wishing to publish recipes please contact webmaster to receive proper permissions. Thanks.
