Recipe books for the observance of a Passover Seder.

Choose a recipe book to help with your Passover meal preparations!  Our family serves lamb, roasted of course--fired on the grill! Also charoset, a salad of bitter herbs, karpas, and horseradish to eat with your lamb and matzah (unleavened bread).  Use the Messianic Passover Haggadah to find out the significance of the broken middle piece of matzah, the afikomen!

Charoset:  made with chopped or grated apples, red wine or grape juice, cinnamon, ginger, sweetened with honey. You can also add nuts and dates.  It represents the mortar the Hebrews made when they were slaves in Egypt.

Bitter herbs: includes onion, romaine lettuce, watercress, parsley, radish (any vegetable with a bitter taste). These remind the participants of the bitterness of death and the bitterness of slavery. These ingredients can be used to make a salad, dressed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Karpas: a boiled potato, celery, or parsley, used to dip into salt water, to remind the participants of the hardship of slavery as represented by a simple food dipped into salt water, which represents tears.
