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 !

Yesterday we tried out Marlow & Sons in Williamsburg.
When you walk into the restaurant you first go through the cafe which is not only a cafe, but a general store as well. The restaurant itself is resembles a canteen. The menu was very small but everything that we ordered was really great, especially the swordfish crostini. Oh, And the oysters were great too!
This was our first time eating at Marlow & Sons so I was surprised to find out that this restaurant had actually been around since 2004!
