"...includes all the ingredients of a powerful historical tale—there are stories passed between generations, magic found in matzoh crumbs, evolving traditions, passion, the voices of poets and writers, family dramas, and the flavors and tastes of the Jewish year.” — Marcie Cohen Ferris, author of Matzoh Ball Gumbo

“And I thought I didn’t need another Jewish cookbook...this cookbook has been in my kitchen for only a couple of weeks, and already it’s dog-eared."

Passover

A generous ransom paid for a much sought-after piece of broken matzoh. Horrific plagues re-created out of wine drops, and bricks from a scrumptious fruit and nut paste. So many raucous cousins the dining table must be stretched with bridge tables until it snakes around the front door.

At every Passover seder Jews revisit magical childhood memories.

A glorious ceremonial family dinner held this year on April 6th and 7th, the first and second nights (Israelis and Reform Jews observe one night only) of Passover, the seder brings to life the ancient Hebrews’ liberation from slavery and their flight from Egypt. Nearly eighty percent of North American Jews--and many non-Jews as well--attend a seder every year, making Passover the most celebrated--and best-loved--of all the Jewish holidays.
