anon -- I have never heard of nuts not being Kosher for Passover! I didn't see it mentioned here. I have heard about peanuts being an issue, as they're a legume...

Ariella – many of the recipes here are not kosher for passover for those who do not eat kitniyot (nuts, legumes, rice, etc).However, traditionally, Sephardic jews do eat kitniyot so it depends on your family’s traditions :). Anyway, all of these look great! I can’t wait to try a few of them this week

Sorry to tell you, but corn syrup is not kosher for Passover. The chocolate glaze for the flourless chocolate cake is not fit for Passover.

Nigella Lawson’s Damp Apple Cake is one of our Passover favorites. Flourless and dairy -free. I substitute chunky applesauce for the applepuree. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/15017886/ns/today-food/t/nigella-lawson-serves-more-comfort-foods/#.T3hV96N5mSM

I’ve been to three grocery stores and can’t find dutch process cocoa. A year ago I found several varieties at the grocery store…so what gives? What will happen to these cookies if I use regular cocoa?

For a cheesecake crust, use macaroons. It’s a huge hit!

You use the Passover Cheesecake Crust, also on the list.

I’m thrilled with this list and have made the chocolate covered matzo candy before, but someone please tell me how the cheesecake recipes are kosher for passover if the crusts are made with graham crackers or nilla wafers???

One thing I’ve been making the last few years for Passover is pignoli cookies. They are quite costly to make (almond paste and pignolis are crazy expensive), but oh so worth it. I got my recipe from allrecipes.com. The one I use is:

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pignoli-cookies-i/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=pignoli&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page

These cookies cost $20/lb in NY and NJ so they’re cheaper to make yourself.

Love your website Deb and we hope to see you in Richmond, VA on your book tour :-) Don’t forget us folks in the South, okay?
