Roasted Butternut Squash Salad and a Review and Giveaway of Passover Made Easy

March 3, 2013 by overtimecook 283 Comments

I know that nobody really wants to think about the imminent arrival of the Passover holiday, but face it, friends. Passover is coming. The good news is that today I am reviewing a cookbook that aims to make Passover cooking easy. I know, it sounds too good to be true. But this book proves that it can be done!

Passover Made Easy is a brand new book, written by the fabulous duo of Leah Schapira (or Fresh & Easy fame) and Victoria Dweck, food editor of a number of top kosher magazines, including the one I write for. The book is a project of CookKosher.Com, and actually features about a third of the recipes by a number of the members, myself included! Leah and Victoria took the recipes, tweaked them and triple tested them, then compiled them into one gorgeous book at a very affordable price! So read what I thought about the book, then scroll down for details on how to win a copy…oh, and a recipe for one of my favorite salad recipes ever!

At a first glance:

The book is visually gorgeous. The pictures are bright and modern, and beautifully styled, the graphics are amazing, and the whole layout is fun and inviting and makes you want to just dig in!

Once I flipped through the book a bit, I was amazed at how none of the recipes screamed Passover. This sure isn’t your bubby’s passover cookbook! There’s a really wide variety of recipes in this book- it even features a brunch and dairy section. (I always thought of that category with regard to passover as scrambled eggs. But no, this book features recipes like Banana French Toast and Matzahroni and Cheese!

Some Features I Liked:

You all know how much photography in cookbooks is important to me, and this book fulfills my expectations in a *big* way. Not only does every recipe have a beautifully photographed picture to go with it, but there are step by step pictures to guide you through the process of things like plating the Potato and Flanken Kugel, a delicious dish that doesn’t usually look very nice on the plate.

Another thing I loved about the book were the cute little anecdotes and stories that come with each recipe. I have to admit that both of the authors are good friends, so I felt like I could hear them talking to me as I read these little stories. But that’s how this cookbook is – it invites you into their kitchens to make Passover together with them.

I’m not a big wine gal (I know!) but for those who are, there are wine pairings alongside many of these recipes.

Due to the vastly varied customs within the Jewish community regarding which ingredients are acceptable for Passover, some of the recipes feature ingredients that some may not use. However, the book features a Replacement Index of substitutions you can make if your customs don’t allow for all of the ingredients. As someone with rather restrictive customs for Passover, I found this feature especially useful!

The beginning features a very useful section of Passover building block recipes, including crepes, passover crumbs and homemade mayo. (They even made a fabulous video demonstrating the process!)

Most importantly, I loved the variety of ideas and flavors in this book. The biggest challenge for me, every year, on Passover, is to make foods that don’t all taste and look the same. With this book at my disposal, I know I won’t face that challenge this year!

Some Recipes I Can’t Wait to Try:

Brisket Eggrolls: Do I really need to say anything else?? I had (non-passover) at Abigails a while back, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. But the idea of making a Passover version of such a delicious dish is mind-bogglingly awesome. This is so going on my menu this year.

Roasted Tomato and Eggplant Soup: We’ve all established how much I love soup, but this one sounds totally different. I might not be able to wait for passover to make this one!

Sweet Potato Pepper Steak: my family doesn’t love the traditional pepper steak, but this looks like a recipe they could really get behind!

Pecan Pie with Cookie Crust: everyone loves pecan pie during the year. I am so excited to try this passover version!

Who This Cookbook is For:

Anyone who is cooking for passover this year and needs a fresh batch of ideas will find this cookbook ultra useful!

Who This Cookbook isn’t For:

Obviously this book is for passover recipes, so if you either aren’t celebrating passover, or are going away (or not cooking for any other reason) this book isn’t for you.

On a smaller scale, people with certain dietary restrictions such as no sugar, nuts or eggs will find a lot of recipes in this book are problematic for them. (But then again, most passover recipes will be a problem for you, so that’s not so much about this book as it is about passover cookbooks in general.)

What I Didn’t Like About This Cookbook:

My main complaint about this book is that there are a number of recipes that I can’t make due to my restrictive Passover customs. As I mentioned, there’s an index of helpful substitutions, but there will still be some recipes I can’t make.

My other issue with this book is that a bunch of the recipes do require an extra step or two, but again, I think that’s more of a complaint about Passover cookbooks and recipes than this book specifically, because there are so many things you can’t buy, so they require extra steps to make them.

Conclusion:

This is an innovative, exciting, fun and totally beautiful book that everyone who is cooking for passover should own. Not cooking for passover this year? Consider this as a gift for your hosts – that way everyone reaps the benefits!

    Thank you so much for the chance to win this cookbook! I’ve been drooling over it every time I see it! My favorite thing to make for Pesach has got to be my Bubby’s brownie cake. It’s quick, easy, lasts the whole holiday, and everyone loves it.

    I love to make my mother’s recipe for cold borscht. It is the most refreshing drink and when served in a beautiful goblet, it has the most luxurious fuschia color. It makes me feel connected to my mother and to my grandmother, whose recipe it is. Of course it doesn’t only have to be made on Pesach. It makes a great summer cold soup.

    My favourite passover food is one that isn’t a real traditional food, but I love it because it reminds me of the passovers I attended back in school: my best friend’s mum (who held it) loved deviled eggs and so she always served deviled eggs. It’s a nice memory for me!

    I think my favorite Pesach dish is matzoh brie, with cinnamon and sugar. Pesach is normally about dietary restrictions, but I just remember it being such a special morning when my mom would teach us how to cook it. It was a really cool change from cold cereal. It became about family and dietary additions.

    I really love just about everything I make for Pesach- Everything is just so fresh & so simple & good. If I must name a fav it’s probably the nut brittle I started making one year when my nieces came by in the afternoon & I had no nosh (We are really restricted in what we buy) Toasted some nuts ifn a non-stick pan then melted some sugar over it, poured it out on foil & let it cool. Now everyone waits for my Pesach Candy.
