Lemon Meringues

by Shoshana on March 15, 2010 · 9 comments

Until recently I never really understood meringues. The ones I had encountered just tasted sweet and crunchy without a lot of flavor. Why would I choose that when there was a perfectly good chocolate chip cookie sitting next to it on the cookie platter? It is the obvious choice for Passover but I have never [...]

Rosemary Poached Pears

A few weeks ago someone emailed me asking if I had any good “plain” parve pound cake recipes. I wasn’t much help since I had never made a parve pound cake, but it did make me realize I needed to remedy that situation. I tend not to make simple cakes like pound cake, which is [...]

Banana Souffle

One of the major differences between the laws of Shabbat and those of holidays is that it is permitted to cook on holidays even though it is forbidden on Shabbat. Anything that is going to be served on shabbat needs to be able to be made ahead and served no less than several hours later. [...]

Homemade Vanilla Marshmallows

One thing that never seems to be lack on Passover is candy. Synagogue schools sell it as a fundraiser, and otherwise health conscious people somehow seem to decide that at least a box of candy per person is a necessary staple to make it through the holiday. As a kid I eagerly looked forward to [...]

Passover brownies

by Shoshana on April 2, 2009 · 3 comments

I know it is tempting to buy the Manischewitz box of brownie mix for Passover. There is so much other cooking to do, there is something nostalgic about it, and it comes with that convinent little tin baking pan.  RESIST THAT URGE! These brownies only take marginally more effort and they are so much better [...]

Flourless Almond Thumbprint Cookies

by Shoshana on March 31, 2009 · 3 comments

Almond butter was my new favorite discovery last Passover. Spread on matzah with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey it was a breakfast/snack truly worth savoring. This year I decided to take the almond butter to the next level with these almond thumbprint cookies. These cookies are absolutely wonderful. Not only are [...]

Strawberry-Rhubarb crisp

by Shoshana on March 24, 2009 · 5 comments

Chocolate and nuts seem to dominate when it comes to Passover desserts. Not that I am complaining. I love chocolate as much as the next person, and it does make for some very tasty desserts. But sometimes it is refreshing to make something different. This strawberry-rhubarb crisp is my seder tradition. I absolutely adore the [...]

Passover Chocolate Chunk Bars

by Shoshana on March 19, 2009 · 4 comments

Passover desserts usually fall into one of two categories, light and airy or rich and dense. These bars from Cookie Madness fall somewhere in the middle. They are light but not airy, with nice sandy texture, and taste like a light chocolate chip blondie. I apologize for the terrible picture. I didn’t have my camera [...]
