Sweet Romanian Eggplant Dip

by | March 31, 2023 | 3 comment(s)

The #1 most made Pesach dip Since this recipe was first featured here six years ago, it’s been the #1 must-have go-to among us at BCP. It goes on all of our Pesach menus, every single year. We love it because it’s loaded with fresh flavor, yet it’s still light and healthy (unlike the heavier…

Pesach and Shabbos 

by | March 30, 2023 | 6 comment(s)

What do you serve on Chol Hamoed Shabbos on Pesach? When Pesach Chol Hamoed Shabbos falls at the end of a three day Yom Tov, it’s a tricky one. When it’s another Yom Tov, it’s simple–you simply put up your regular cholent and you’re good to go. But what do you serve on Pesach to…

Rudy’s Eggplant Salad

by | March 30, 2023 | 5 comment(s)

A pure and delicious eggplant salad with the simplest of ingredients. There are two types of great cooks. Some have knowledge of cooking before they officially start (perhaps they built up their knowledge little by little). Others knew nothing–they didn’t even know how to boil water for pasta before learning and catching on quickly. Rudy…

Crispy Pargiyot over Caulirice and Israeli Salad

by | March 28, 2023 | 6 comment(s)

That easy, comes-together-in-minutes Chol Hamoed dinner that’s fresh and flavorful.  I believe Pesach foods should be just as delicious as all year foods–no compromises. So my dinners for chol hamoed mirror my usual weeknight dinners with just slight adaptations. Here I baked pargiyot (skinless, boneless chicken thighs) because they’re incredibly tender and juicy, then chopped…

Kim’s Pesach Cookie

by | March 27, 2023 | 9 comment(s)

Kim Kushner’s “Mimi’s Cookies” went viral last Pesach–in case you missed it, here it is! Kim Kushner’s readers went crazy over this cookie last year. And so we knew it was a must-try… especially since the ingredients are so simple, you may already have shopped them before seeing the recipe.  Another reason why we love…

Seder Night Flanken

by | March 26, 2023 | 19 comment(s)

Easy to prep and foolproof–you’ll love these slow-cooked strips of flanken. The first time I featured this recipe on my page, I received some feedback: “I thought you can’t cook meat in the oven for Seder night, it’s roasting, etc. I always thought you have to make everything on the stovetop”. To make sure, I…

How to Cook and Serve Tongue

by and | March 26, 2023 | 4 comment(s)

Using this method, you can stretch a tongue and impress your guests with an elegant start to your meal. When you prepare and serve this way, we found that one tongue is enough for 12-14 appetizers! It’ll look super impressive–but is not that hard to prepare. (Let’s just say, it’s way easier than rolling blintzes!). …

Chablis-Infused Salmon

by | March 23, 2023 | 0 comment(s)

Also known as “White Wine Salmon” (but don’t substitute with just any white wine!) This started out as a cherished Pesach recipe in my family. And when I say “my family” I mean, my family. As in, not my husband’s family. That’s because I married into a tradition that doesn’t do fish on Pesach. At…

Crock-Pot Overnight Potato Kugel Hack (Freezer Version)

by | March 23, 2023 | 9 comment(s)

The easiest way to get a fresh overnight potato kugel on Yom Tov. We can’t believe we’re sharing another overnight kugel recipe, but when we heard there’s a new “Chantzy W hack” we knew we were going to be making it this Pesach–and of, course, we’d have to share it with you.  What are the…
