Everyone devoured the food and it felt wonderful to present such a lavish meal that still allowed me to enjoy the holiday and my friends and family in a relaxed fashion.One other plus: the author includes many additional recipes that help round out the eight day holiday.

This review is from: Passover Seders Made Simple [Paperback]This book is a tremendous resource for those who are not familiar with Kosher food preparation. I was in charge of a Seder Dinner at a Catholic Church and although I had a Jewish mentor, was so glad to also have this book, since it guided us through even the proper table settings for this beautiful meal. VERY GOOD!...
