If you get stumped when it comes to appetizers over Pesach, you’ll love how these basics come together in this pretty salmon dish. As moms, we always wish our kids be better than us. And while that wish is usually spiritual, we’re thrilled when it’s in any aspect. Once my girls grew up, I realized…

Bao Buns with Smoked Brisket, Pickled Onions, and Pesto
Once you have your Bao Buns, it’s time to fill them up! This combination of smoked brisket, pickled red onions, pesto oil, and garlic mayo is a winner. We really like the texture of Bao Buns. But even if you’re not making the buns, you can still use this filling inside a wrap for soft…
How to Make Bao Buns Without a Steamer
Those hot, pillowy, soft buns filled with meat or chicken make the perfect appetizer. But what do you do if you don’t want to store a bulky wooden steamer? Often, when an item shows up on a restaurant menu, it doesn’t take long for it to be adopted by home cooks. Lamb Riblets, Corn Riblets,…
Baked Pastrami and Cabbage Egg Rolls
You can use this technique to get great baked egg rolls with any filling. Freeze now and bake fresh! Egg rolls are one of those appetizers that disappear the second they hit the table. They’re crispy, flavorful, and always a crowd favorite. And while we’re not against frying, we’ve reached that stage where if we…
Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce
These rolls are as fun to make as they are to eat—and they look beautiful on a plate. You can customize them a million ways (think shredded chicken, tofu, mango…). Call them summer rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls or salad rolls – either way they’re light, they’re fresh, and they make a gorgeous appetizer. Or a…

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…
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…
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…
Kosher Kopycat: Tuna Carpaccio
A refreshing and surprisingly different way to serve your tuna crudo. At our house, the girls have a bit of an obsession with raw fish. The boys at the table have learned to look the other way and stick to their chummus with garlic confit and sourdough, while the girls polish off another form of…
Chummus Bassar
You’ve tasted Chummus Bassar–the chummus dish with spiced ground meat–before. But this one is simply the best version. Editor’s Note: We first tasted Chayale’s Chummus Bassar when she had prepared it for a get together. We tasted it. It was simply better than any Chummus Bassar we had ever tasted (and we have tasted lots…
