Pesach/Passover for Dummies

For those of you anostics/gentiles/heathens who have always wondered what happense at a Passover seder/dinner, here's the humorous abridged version to enlighten you.

One of my favorite yummy passover treats (yes, my brain knows I'm not Jewish, but my tummy doesn't) which I used to make for my elderly neighbor & co-workers from time, was cocunut macaroons. I made a batch last night, with my son's help, using a recipe from the Barefoot Contessa cookbook noted below, that also happened to be online.1

I needed the online version to send my co-workers the link, who threatened me with bodily harm (after eating my macaroons) if I didn't share the recipe with them by tonight. A word of caution: these babies are sinfully delicious because they commit major transgression against all nutritionally sound principles.

My favorite Easter dish and recipe will be posted later on today. Okay, now it's your turn to share with me, what's your favorite Passover/Easter dish?

Hmmmm... I just searched my site for my version of macaroons - less meringue-y and drizzled with chocolate ganache. Apparently I've never posted it, being a semi-secret recipe and all. Any kind of macaroon is heavenly.

Try adding some finely diced dried pineapple to the mix before baking. :D
