Jewish Passover Recipes

Passover recipes — every dish you’ll need for the seder and the eight days that follow. Brisket, matzo ball soup, gefilte fish, charoset, kugel, flourless desserts, and roasted everything. All kosher for Passover (no leavening, no chametz, no kitniyot unless you’re Sephardi).

Start the seder right: classic Jewish brisket, matzo ball soup, a really good gefilte fish, and charoset (mine has apple, walnut, sweet wine, and cinnamon). Sides cover all the kugels — sweet potato, jerusalem artichoke, the works — plus crock-pot tzimmes for the make-ahead win. Desserts go flourless: flourless almond fig cake, flourless chocolate cupcakes, and matzo-based crunch like chocolate caramel matzah crunch.

The full 50 Passover Recipes roundup covers every meal of the eight days — leftover-friendly, kid-friendly, and tested across multiple seders.
