Cookbook authors Ruth Joseph and Simon Round give a tour de Jewish cuisine in their new release Jewish Traditional Home Cooking, just in time for Passover. We're looking forward to rolling out rugelach, wrapping up blintzes and churning out kreplach all year round. But we're especially excited that this year's Passover kugel has a crisp golden brown top and creamy interior.

Passover Helper: An Easy Homemade Matzo Recipe

How to make homemade matzo in your own kitchen

Mar 22, 2013 10:01 am

Michael Leviton Chef/owner of Newton, MA's French bistro, Lumière, believes in Chinese food at Christmas and homemade matzo at Passover. The best part is it takes less time to make your own matzo than to schlep all the way over to the festival seasonal Pareve section at your local supermarket to pick up a box.

Mexican Matzo Ball Soup Recipe

Go south of the border for Passover this year

We're big proponents of not fixing that which ain't broke, especially when it comes to cooking for the Jewish holidays. Grandmas and aunts can get a little wild if you tweak a classic recipe the wrong way. Thankfully, Chef Ivy Stark of Dos Caminos modified matzo ball soup, the Passover staple, in a way that's so, so right.

Gefilte fish has it hard. Nobody eats it other than the obligatory slab before the good Passover stuff comes out. Be that as it may, gefilte fish on Passover isn't going anywhere. So NYC's sweeping spot for haute south-of-the-border cuisine Rosa Mexicano's culinary advisor Jonathan Waxman updated it.

Just because haroset is supposed to look like cinnamon-flavored mortar doesn't mean it has to taste like it. Chef Jonathan Waxman, culinary advisor to NYC's Rosa Mexicano, loaned an expert hand to the restaurant's 10-year running tradition of hosting Mexican Passover. This recipe is no exception.

As someone who writes about wine for a living, each year I am tasked by my editor with rounding up the best kosher wines in time for the Passover meal. It’s a little silly, really, when you consider that, of all the seders my friends have hosted, no one has ever adamantly required the wine to be kosher. But even the non-devout like to try kosher wines for Passover. Luckily for such doctrinal dabblers, kosher wines have vastly improved over the last few years.
