Feasts For Easter And Passover

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

*** Marvelous Holiday Meals

 

Here are a few more tips to brighten up all of your

Passover or Eastermeal preparations.

 

* Passover Substitutions.

 

Preparing meals for all eight days of Passoveris always a

challenge, but your task will be a little easier

with these kosher substitutions up your sleeve.

 

Instead of using flour to thicken gravy, use 1 egg yolk

or 1 1/2 teaspoons of potato starch for every tablespoon

of flour.

In baking, use 3/4 cup potato starch or 1 cup cake meal

for every cup of flour.

 

For a one-ounce square of baking chocolate, substitute

3 tablespoons cocoa and 1 tablespoon shortening.

Make kosher confectioners' sugar by putting 1 cup sugar

in a blender and whirling until fine,

then mixing in 1 1/2 teaspoons of potato starch.

 

* Spring Centerpiece.

Bring springtime to your table with a fun and

simple Easter centerpiece.

Incorporate the great outdoors!

Buy some small pots of grass at a plant nursery

(or sprout your own).

 

Cluster several together in a rectangular basket

and nestle colored eggs, toy chickies orbunnies,

and fresh tulips into the grass.

Tie a pastel satin ribbon around the basket

as a finishing touch.

Make sure the centerpiece doesn't get too tall

or nobody will be able to see each other across the table!

 

* Easter Leftovers. First order of business after

the Easter egg hunt:

what on earth are you going to do with all those eggs?

 

After a round of good old-fashioned deviled eggs,

whip up a batch of egg salad for lunches the next day.

Get creative and add new flavors like olives,cumin and

cilantro, dill, blue cheese and shredded apple,

or fresh basil and chopped tomatoes.

 

And when you grow weary of putting that leftover entree

into sandwiches, chop it up and add it to a quiche or

scrambled eggs, put it on a pizza with some pineapple,

mix itinto pasta primavera, or stir it into your

favorite soup.
