FROM THE NOVICE COOK TO THE SEASONED CHEF...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 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.
To try-before-you-buy, feel free to whip up some of the sample
recipes Joan has made available in her online kitchen. And
don't forget to stop by and read what reviewers have to say about
Passover Cookery.
