Customer Reviews

A great cookbook

This is my all-time favorite Pesach cookbook - I have been using it since it came out more than 20 years ago. I have given it as a gift numerous times, including this year, when I wrote notes next to all the recipes and gave it to a good friend, who told me that she's now actually looking forward to Pesach 2010 as she wants to try these recipes, I've been raving about all these years!

Worth seeking out

This cookbook contains over 100 kosher-for-Passover recipes from all over the world, so nearly everyone will find some familiar and many unusual recipes. Most recipes are preceded by notes about their origin, and nearly all are accompanied by beautiful, full-page color photos. I turn to this book whenever I want to make something out of the ordinary and have generally had excellent success, though there have been occasional duds. A few recipes include legumes, which are used by Sephardic but not Ashkenazic Jews during Passover; if you follow Ashkenazic tradition, be sure to read the ingredient lists carefully.

The Passover Gourmet

The recipes and history included with them are excellent. My friends rave about the taste, quality, ease in preparation and wanted to know where I got the book. It can be used all year not just for Pesach time.

A beautiful and easy to use Passover cookbook.

Nira Rousso has accomplished putting together a delectable array of recipes on glossy paper with fantastic photgraphs of almost every recipe. Each mouthwatering entry comes with some interesting history of origin of the recipe followed by easy to read and understand instructions. No Jewish kitchen should be without it!
