Crafting a delicious Passover French Toast involves a simple twist to my traditional French Toast recipe: I swap out the usual bread for my Passover sponge cake or chiffon cake. The results are sublime and often even better than the year-round version! The cake can be homemade, store bought or from a mix. Enjoy! [...]

You bake a scrumptious Kosher for Passover banana chiffon cake, then pull off pieces of the cake and roll them into balls that are approximately 1 and 1/2 inches. After a short stint in the fridge you dip the balls into melted chocolate. The recipe serves double duty as [...]

These kosher for Passover onion rings are baked, not fried. They’re low-fat and low-cal, so feel free to take seconds. Onions are rich in l-tryptophan—an amino acid that is a natural sedative, so eat a bunch of these onion rings and get a good night’s sleep. And…yes…kosher for Passover panko crumbs are available. Wishing all [...]
