From the novice to the seasoned cook, the
Jewish holiday of Passover presents a host of culinary challenges.
But whether your goal is to create a new and distinct feast or to
reproduce the beauty and traditions of your grandmother's Seder, Joan
Kekst paves the way in her upcoming book, Passover Cookery: In
the Kitchen with Joan Kekst.
Cleveland food columnist, lecturer, kosher cooking
instructor, and passionate cook, Kekst wrote her book in response
to frequent pleas for help from those making Passover for the first
time. She combines common sense, easy to follow instructions, with
creative recipes from her extensive private collection into this
indispensable guide. Passover Cookery includes:
- Dishes that can be made in advance of the
Seder
- Interesting foods children will love
- Numerous low-fat/low-cholesterol and vegetarian
recipe suggestions
- Ethnic specialties from Sephardic and Ashkenazic
heritage
To help first time Seder makers, and those new
to Judaism, Kekst provides easy-to-understand explanations of the
holiday, its requirements, customs, unique cooking ingredients,
and the symbolic foods of the Seder plate. Her "Countdown to
Passover" guide helps busy cooks and their families to organize
their holiday preparations into easy steps. Starting six weeks ahead,
Kekst outlines a schedule for all the preparations necessary to
create a "Kosher for Passover" home and a healthy, tantalizing,
and meaningful Seder feast. Recipes accomodate all eight days of
the Passover holiday.
