For the first Passover Seder we hosted in our home we bought a cookbook. I had no idea what to make, what to put on a Seder plate, and wanted to know…what is gefilte fish anyway? The book we purchased was titled Let My People Eat!: Passover Seders Made Simple by Zell Schulman. I loved the title and did judge the book by its cover. I know I am not supposed to do that but this time it worked to my advantage. What a great cookbook! The drawings, checklists, and recipes did make it simple. The book also has recipes to use for the entire week of Passover.
The tradition we have taken from this book (whether or not we have a Seder at our home) is to make our own horseradish. If you have never made you own, you should give it a try. It requires only a few ingredients and with a food processor does not take long to make at all.
Anyone who tried our horseradish at last years Temple Passover Seder will tell you, it cleared their sinuses in an instant! This year we will bring it again – maybe we should bring some tissues too.
