It might be your first time making Pesach, or your 25th…but now you can have instructions for all those Pesach basics conveniently in one place. There are the special dishes and then there are the staples: the items that must get prepared sometime between now and Yom Tov. Here’s a roundup of all the Pesach…
Food
9 x 13 Sweet And Sour Salmon.
Did you know that you can cook your sweet and sour salmon in the oven? You’ll never use a pot again and never have to deal with the fish juice. I was visiting my sister one Friday night, and as she started preparing for the meal, I noticed how she stored her sweet and sour…
Grilled Strip Steak
You might also know this steak as “”Delmonico Strips” or “NY Strip Steak.” I have been noticing this nicely marbled cut of meat on the shelf at the butcher’s lately. Sometimes called “delmonico strips” sometimes “NY style strip steak,” and they are intrinsically the same thing. It’s a French roast cut into strips which makes…
9×13 Mashed Sweet Potatoes
When you can get results like this without a pot, why not? Make soft, roasted, deliciously caramelized mashed sweet potatoes in your 9×13 pan. The BCP 9×13 Mashed Cauliflower has been a favorite in our kitchen for years. The 9×13 method takes a bit of time, but the result is always worth it—a rich, flavorful,…
Grilled Chicken Salad with the Best Nuts
With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, this is the only grilled chicken salad you need this Pesach. Sometimes we put our minds together and create a recipe, together. Whenever we do that, magic happens. We did that when we came up with the Berry Coulis (which we even created a Pesach version since it was…
Basics: Simple Syrup
The liquified version of sugar is super easy to make and comes in handy in so many recipes. We use simple syrup in a lot of recipes, especially over Pesach. If it’s not something you’re accustomed to making, no worries, simple syrup is, as the name suggests…completely simple. Making simple syrup simply involves boiling sugar…
Meltaway Babka for Pesach
This gluten free babka from Simply Pesach and Beyond goes on your must-bake list this Pesach. Editor’s Note: After Renee Muller styled the photos for Rivky Kleiman’s Simply Pesach and Beyond, she told the rest of us, “We must feature the Meltaway Babka on Between Carpools. Rivky is a genius.” She had tasted it, and…
Nina’s Pesach Cookies
These cookies are the first thing you should bake for Pesach This is the cookie that I look forward to on Pesach each year. It’s absolutely perfect and not in any way “Pesachdig” tasting. It’s crispy, delicious, and tastes like coconut and almonds, the perfect addition to your coffee (or tea) break. We have been…
Sesame-Less Chicken
The kids will love this. Actually, everyone will love this chicken that graces the cover of Rivky Kleiman’s Simply Pesach and Beyond. Note from BCP: When we set out to pick a recipe from Rivky’s gorgeous new cookbook Simply Pesach and Beyond, we quickly realized that this was easier said than done. So many dishes…
Rocky Road Marshmallow Pesach Brownies
We used Lieber’s cocoa and chocolate chips (the best, for real!) to make these extra special gluten free brownie bars that are so special, they work as a complete dessert. Last year, we set about making our Pesach menus, full of BCP tried-and-true favorites. But then we realized–that might be easy now, but then what…
