Passover 2023

MONDAY MORNING COOKING CLUB’S ANNUAL PASSOVER ROUNDUP

The time of the year where so much time is spent thinking about the food.

How many have you got for seder?

What are you going to cook? 

What am I going to cook?!?

When are you starting to cook?

You get the drift.

We start on Wednesday night which this year falls on 5th April with the first night seder, or feast, followed by 8 days ahead of us where these questions will be asked over and over again.

And we hope we can help with some answers.

If you have our books, this list will help you find the recipes just PERFECT for Pesach. If you don’t have our books we have lots of free recipes right here on our site.

There is still time (if you are in Australia) to grab a copy of the latest book, either through this website in the online shop, at your local bookstore or online (try Booktopia or Amazon AU).

(Check out our post outlining the fabulous Pesach recipes from our latest book, ‘Now for Something Sweet’)

Our FOUR books are absolutely and positively jam-packed with the most delicious, interesting and altogether useful recipes for Pesach (Passover).

We have created our ‘top 10’ savoury and sweet recipes from our books to help make your menu planning a breeze.
