Passover Recipes and Cooking Techniques

Passover - Shalom

Observing the upcoming Jewish Passover holiday requires a change in cooking style, as  many foods are forbidden. You may also have limited equipment, be cooking for a crowd or hosting for the first time.

Below I’ve collected what I think are the most useful posts and Kosher for Passover recipes from Cooking Manager and my Jewish website, A Mother in Israel. I hope you find them useful whether or not you celebrate.

Note: For Passover,  replace flour in recipes with matzah meal.

All Passover recipes are gluten-free, unless they contain matzah meal.

Slightly off topic:

One of the most useful things I did last year, the very first time I made seder and was at home from beginning to end, was sit down and make a list of all the recipes I frequently used that I could make with absolutely no modifications. I wound up with several soups, a few vegetable sides, a couple of chicken and a couple of fish recipes. Plenty for eight days. Took off some of the stress because I knew these were tried and true.

Not off-topic at all. I use that technique pretty much year-round!
