Chocolate Coconut Cake for Passover
2008-05-09 21:16:00 I have been making this deeply-flavored and remarkably easy cake every peysekh for something like fifteen years. Two years ago, inspired by the miraculous Indira at Mahanandi, I decided to try this (and all my other coconut-related recipes) with freshly grated coconut, rather than the packaged shreds. The results are, if possible, even more delicious, and a little therapeutic coconut-smashing is just the thing after several weeks of frenzied peysekh-preparation.The Lady?s Chocolate Coconut Cake Preheat oven to 325 7 ounces (2 bars) Maestrani noblesse bittersweet chocolate, broken up Shredded pulp from one coconut (about 9 ounces, or 2 1/2 cups) or 7 ounces dried shredded coconut 7 ounces sugar 7 egg whitesPrepare your coconut. Heat the oven to 375 (or, if you have something going in the oven, whatever temperature is needed). Pierce two of the three dots on the pointed end (a Phillips-head screwdriver is good for this), and drain out the coconut-water. Drink the water stra...

Passover In Paradise
2008-04-25 22:31:00 I have met many Jewish guests this week and our biggest discussion is about being Jewish and living on a small resort island in a small Caribbean Christian country. It is a very strange idea if you really think about it.Anyway, this year the JCTC (Jewish Community of Turks and Caicos) held a community seder at Beaches resort. $100 per person, no clean up or cooking necessary, servers and drinks included. I could not go bit I hear it went well.My story...I went to IGA the Tuesday before Pesach and they still hadn't put the Passover food out. Luckily there was a lovely Italian jewish couple staying at the resort and taking my Pilates mat classes who gave me 1/2 a box of matzo (enough for me for 8 days). Then I went to IGA this week and the Passover food was out, so I got more stuff. Did you know you can make yummy breaded chicken using kosher for passover potato pancake mix? The today I saw a guest who brought kosher for passover food in bulk, along with kosher meat. When the...

Passover Rolls
2008-04-24 03:43:00 When people unfamiliar with Passover first hear that observing Jews avoid all flour-containing products for eight whole days, they are often shocked! We can't eat bread, pasta, cereal, cookies, crackers ... and there are other restrictions, besides flour, so that's just the beginning. Luckily, there are many recipes I look forward to enjoying year after year. When I was a kid, my mom always made special rolls for Passover - they were slightly sweet, and very moist. For some reason, I always enjoyed them (and still do!) with peanut butter and jelly. My mom prefers to eat them for breakfast during Passover with cottage cheese. This year, I took the recipe one notch up and beat the mixture with my KA mixture to make a light, fluffy batter that produced a roll with an airy, popover-like texture. I enjoyed one after dinner with some pumpkin butter - yum! Passover Rolls1 cup water1/2 cup vegetable oil1 T sugardash of salt1 cup of matzoh meal4 eggsPreheat oven to 375F. Coat a baking she...

Great Fruit Wine for Passover
2008-04-22 03:41:00 By: Christine PichecaI wanted wine recommendations for our Passover menus this month so I called up Anne Martin, our new wine writer, to ask her the dreaded question – know any good Kosher wines? Turns out, that’s not the loaded question it once was. Not only did she come up with three decent picks but it turns out Canada has three certified Kosher wineries Rodrigues in Newfoundland, Rush Creek in Ontario, Munro Meadery also in Ontario (who really make mead which is wine made from honey and is classified as a fruit wine.Rush Creek was profiled in the second issue of Edible Toronto. Their specialty is fruit wines that are enjoying resurgence in the foodie world. The tastes of the new generation fruit wines are much drier wines and more refined fruit flavour than the cough syrup versions of the past.Recently Colleen, our web editor, visited Rush Creek where she snapped these shots showing their pulp fermentation process for their Blueberry Rush wine.

Passover and Politics: Reflections
2008-04-19 00:51:00 Hey, Passover starts tomorrow night - it's always been my favorite holiday.A fine feast, catchy songs, and a great storyline - what more can you ask for?The part I like best comes early in the seder. Why do we need to have a Passover ceremony - the answer is provided by a look at The Four Sons. The first son is highly intelligent - no need to have the story of Passover told for him, because he already understands it. The second son is evil - no point in telling the Passover story for him, because he deemed himself above all of this. The third is a little bit of a dim-wit - no need to have the story told to him either, because the meaning can be satisfactorily conveyed to his weak mind in just a few, simple sentences. But the fourth son - he who has not the capacity to even inquire - he is the reason that the Passover story must be told. It must be told, in other words, for those who, for whatever reason (perhaps because they are too young, or otherwise know nothing at all ...

Spiritual Preparation for Passover
2008-04-17 01:46:00 by R. Nati and Reb Akiva at Mystical PathsWe're in the midst of our Passover preparations, and if you're like we are, cabinets are being emptied, counters are overflowing, water is boiling, furniture is being moved, the children are either hungry, annoying, or both. Supplies are being hauled in, runs are being made for things missing, Passover boxes are being opened and dishes taken out.Scrubbing is going on, koshering is going on, the house is upside down and somewhere between chometz and Pesach in kashrus (kosher status).There's a story from Rebbe Levi Yitzchok of Berdichev, the Kedushas Levi, zt"l, who in the midst of this stood up and screamed, "Ribono shel Olam, Master of the Universe, may the scrubbing, the scrapping, the kashering, form angels that appear before you in the merit of the Jewish people". (The initials of those words in Yiddish being the same as the shofar blows on Rosh Hashana.)Yet, in the midst of this joyous preparation, and many of you probably gagged wh...

Passover Cards for Friends
2008-04-16 10:45:00 Its Jewish Passover time. To be specific Passover is on April19. And I was planning to gift something to My Jewish Buddy, Jude. I am not much aware of any traditional stuff that would be a good gift. And finally, decided to gift him and his family with flowers. After all, Flowers say it best. I know Jude is a dude and gifting him flowers might not be the best option, but as a gift to his whole family for their most important occasion (Passover), flowers would be the best. Jude stays with his parents and siblings. Although, I have never gifted anything during before, I guess, sending Passover flowers at their doorstep would be good. Please comment and advice if you have a better idea. Thank you.

Happy Passover!
2008-04-04 07:34:00 Lately, I have been repeatedly amused by SomeEcards.com, whose motto is, "when you care enough to hit send." With the joyful Jewish holiday coming up, I'm thinking about all those funky traditions that we have, solely for the purpose of freaking out the goyim (that's Yiddish for gentiles, if you didn't know. And in case you're wondering, "gentile" is Jewish for "not a Jew"). My family has always observed a pretty traditional Seder, but we've also experimented and changed things here or there, too. For instance, for a while now, my mother has put an orange on the Seder plate, which, obviously, drives my father bonkers, but there's nothing he can do about it, because my mother's the one who does all the preparations. Sometimes, if there are children of a certain age in attendance, my father does chemical magic tricks (turning "water" to "blood"). Another new custom we've been incorporating into our Seder in recent years is to have my nephews scream through the entire thing. It...

Easter – Its origins and relationship to Pagans and Passover
2008-03-21 14:38:00 I’m confused about Easter, how about you? There seems to be much scholarly discourse that links the Christian tradition of Easter to the Jewish tradition of Passover and to certain Pagan rituals and beliefs that came before them. There is even some dispute over the actual date of Christ’s death and resurrection, but the faith that each of us hold in our hearts cannot be in dispute. This I believe.The name Easter may have first been associated with an ancient Goddess, The Venerable Bede, (672-735). She was the mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe who was known as Eastra.Many Pagan religions in the Mediterranean area had a major seasonal day of religious celebration following the Spring Equinox. Cybele, the Phrygian fertility goddess had a fictional consort named Attis who was believed to have been born in a virgin birth and to have died and been resurrected each year during the March 22 to March 25th period around 200 B.C. Wherever Christian worship of Jesus and ...

The Passover trip : and other Biblical hallucinations
2008-03-09 05:49:00 It's entirely possible that celebrating the Passover, may be a bit like celebrating progress along the yellow brick road toward the fabled Emerald City. The odds that the exodus was an historical event is highly unlikely according to archaeologists.In Egypt's northern Sinai Peninsula, archaeologists have uncovered remains that coincide with the timing of the alleged exodus, but there is no evidence to support the Passover story. When asked about possible evidence that might give credence to the story of the exodus, Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass wasn't encouraging ... "Really, it's a myth."A professor of cognitive psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Benny Shanon, has another thesis that casts a different light on the story of the wandering Israelites and the 'revelation' on Mount Sinai.

Israel group about Pot on Passover: JUST SAY NO...
2007-03-28 00:04:00 JERUSALEM - In bad news for its religious Jewish supporters, an Israeli pro-marijuana party announced Tuesday that pot is forbidden on Passover. Cannabis is among the substances Jews are forbidden to consume during the week-long festival, which begins Monday, said Michelle Levine, a spokeswoman for the Green Leaf party. Biblical laws prohibit eating leavened foods during Passover, replacing bread with flat crackers called matza. Later injunctions by European rabbis extended those rules to forbid other foods like beans and corn, and more recent rulings have further expanded the ban to include hemp seeds, which today are found in some health oils - and in marijuana. Green Leaf is a small political party that supports the legalization of marijuana. Although it is by no means a Jewish religious authority, the group decided to warn its observant supporters away from the drug on Passover. "You shouldn't smoke marijuana on the holiday, and if you have it in your house you should g...

Roses of Brooklyn (Passover Rosewater Extract)
2007-03-23 21:45:00 Wednesday I went to the Holon supermarket on King?s Highway in Brooklyn, where I found some teeny-tiny little ½-ounce jars of kosher-for-Passover rose water extract and orange flower water extract. The grocer explained that I should use just a drop of extract in a recipe that would call for a tablespoon of rose water. I have been hoping to find something like this for years. If I were to assess the effectiveness of my shopping trips on an ounce-per-mile basis, then today?s trip would be a very inefficient trip indeed. On a coolness-per-mile basis, however, I think I did pretty well. I first learned about Holon and the other grocery stores on King?s Highway from Ilana Goldberg?s amazing and very funny short movie Makolet. If your library has a copy and you have twenty-four minutes, you don?t want to miss what may be my very favorite food movie in the world.I am planning to use orange flower water extract in an orange almond cake, and the rose in a carrot and pistachio halva.
