Today’s Cooking in English: Passover Special

(above: matzo ball soup)

The next Cooking in English Passover Special will be held this Saturday, March 23!

In today’s Cooking in English class we made traditional Passover dishes using seasonal vegetables and other fresh ingredients.

This is a sweets and savory dish called Tzimmes. It is made with sweet potatoes, carrots, prunes, celery and honey.

This is a roasted asparagus salad with arugula, grapefruit, and pine nuts.

This is my vegetarian interpretation of the traditional seder plate. Instead of using a shank bone I used a parsnip.

These are macaroons, a traditional passover dessert. While this recipe usually calls for eggs and white sugar, I used brown rice syrup an no eggs. These vegan macaroons came out great !

I will be holding the next Cooking in English: Passover Special class this Saturday, March 23.
