Spring Holiday Recipes

If you get my newsletter you know the topic was the spring holidays of Easter and Passover. The holidays are so closely related in their origins that I thought my blog readers my want to have some Passover Recipes. The last super was a Seder so I find it only fitting to share some typical dishes that are served for the holiday and their recipes. I know that Passover was Mose leaving Egypt which happen a long time before

One of the best places I have found recently for on-line passover for recipes is BonAppetit.
http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/guides/passover/index/index_20090303 These are easy recipes to make and most are used for entertaining which is what a Seder is all about. Food with some prayers. I have use the New York Times Passover Cookbook hard bound over the years. Last year, I was disappointed and blogged about their popover recipe but everything else I have made from the cookbook has turned out excellent. I have given the cookbook as hostess gifts to homes where I was invited for a Seder meal. I will try the popovers with my regular popover recipe this year  and just use matzoth cake meal instead of flour and see if that works. Don't really see why not.

I grew up in a home where the dishes were changed for Passover and but I do not do that in my own home. My life partner is Lutheran so we celebrate as many different holidays as we can. Life is short so why not celebrate all cultures and remember these holidays were placed in the spring to celebrate the spring as many pagan holidays of the time did. 

Start your family traditions around all the holidays and record the recipes to share with your family.

So Happy Spring, Happy Easter and Chag Semach!
