Forward

Dear Cook!

It is with great pleasure and thanks to Hashem that we produce this PesachCookbook in draft form (second draft). Pesach is a very special Yom Tov. Every

Yom Tov has its unique qualities. Each have their own Brochas and strengths whichwe get from Hashem.

Matzoh is called the Food of Faith. One of the reasons we are so particular with thecleaning of Chometz, eating only hand baked matzoh, and being extra particular withfood on Pesach, is that this Yom Tov strengthens our Emunah, our Faith in Hashem.

In Lubavitch we are very particular on Pesach. We do not use manufactured goods,even with the most reliable hechsher. Many do not eat in each others homes,although they would not hesitate to do so during the year. Fruit and vegatables areonly used if they can be peeled before consumption. We boil our sugar and teabefore Pesach.

A kosher un freilichen Pesach

A little note about the above phrase:

Before Pesach, Yidden have a Minhag to wish each other a kosher un freilichenPesach.

Kosher is an abbreviation forKemotzie Shalal Rav Like one who finds a lot ofbooty.

When we work hard before and during Pesach to keep the highest standards ofKashrus, Hashem rewards us with a lot ofShalal, booty, so we have Simcha and aChag Hapesach KosherVesameach, a Kosher and happy Pesach.

The lesson in this for Jewish children is that while were very careful that everything

we eat is 100% kosher, we should also be careful that everything else about us, whatwe do and how we behave, is also 100% kosher. We should behave as is fitting for asoldier in Tzivos Hashem and not make a Chilul Hashem, Chas Vesholom.That is avictory against the Yetzer and brings Shala Rav a lot of booty.

Another thing: Kemotzie Shalal Rav, when we find the booty, its not a physical war,but, rather, a war against an old and foolish king. The Shalal Ravbrings happinessso we will have a Kosher AND happy Pesach.

Taken from Sichos 18th Nissan 5745.

This recipe book is in draft form (second draft). It was found that there is a need for abook which incorporates the Minhagim of Lubavitch for Pesach, without usingmanufactured goods. We are looking for a committee of people who would beinterested in working on improving this booklet. We would like to add recipes andpublish this in a way that it could reach a wider international audience. If you haveany suggestions or recipes, however small, please tell us.

While you use this booklet, jot down any ideas you have to enhance theYom Tov of others. We were given a few recipes last year which have beenmisplaced. Our apologies for this and we would appreciate receiving a copy ofthese.

We would like to extend our appreciation to the following contributors of recipes andsuggestions of well over 100 recipes! Who said you had to have a very limited menu?Buy lots of fruit and vegetables and let your imagination fly freeely.

Erev Pesach Check List

* Check pockets- especially ofchildrens clothing* Ensure sufficient wine, Matzos etc* Unseal boxes of Matzoh, ensureyou have complete ones* Boil liquid sugar* Preapre tea essence* Think through the Seder:* Boil eggs for Beiza* Roast neck bone for Zeroia* Prepare charoses crack andgrind nuts* Check through lettuce* Grate Morror* Prepare candles for second night* Adjust heating, hot water and

stove* Cut up paper trowels and silver foil

Tips for successful Pesachcooking

Invest in blender/food processer /shredder/slicer/good grater.

Make sure to have a few nut crackers andpeelers.

Before Yom Tov, prepare cut silver foil andpaper towels.

Encourage your children to crack as manynuts as possible.

Wet sliver foil sticks to almost any surface.Great for lining fridges, counters, etc.

Smile and enjoy Yom Tov. Nothing isbetter than a happy mother! These tipsand recipes are for the adventurous, dontfeel obliged to follow them all.

Liquid SugarThe whole purpose of liquidizing is tostrain the sugar so it should eliminate anupossibility of Chametz. You will have tokasher the pot when you are finishedmaking the sugar. Also, you have to makethe sugar BEFORE Pesach.

Boil a pint of water in a saucepan andwhen the water is boiling, pour in 1 packetof sugar and mix it well with a woodenspoon on a low light until the sugardissolves.

Prepare another saucepan. Put a metalstrainer in the saucepan and put a whitemuslin colth inside it.When the sugar is dissolved, pour it intothe 2nd pot through the muslin cloth.You will have to strain it as soon as it isdissolved otherwise it will become hard.

If you are stuck with leftover sugar, put itback into the first pot and repeat theproccess, perhaps with another packet ofsugar if you need it.

Liquid Sugar 2This has to be done BEFORE Pesach.If you run out of it on pesach, youcannot make more.

2 poundsof sugar2 glasses of water

Put on medium fire. Bring to the boil,stirring all the time. Strain through asoft cloth.

PS. Pot will need kashering after use.Kashering method: Bring water to the boil,pour out, rinse with cold water.

Tea Essence

Prepare before Pesach:

20 tea bags or 125grm tea essence

Tear tea bags open. Place teaessence/granules into pot. Add waterand boil. Strain through muslin cloth.

Refrigerate.

SchmaltzRemove fat from chicken.

Cook 1 1/ hours. Add onions forflavour.

Beat EggsEggs beat up best at roomtemperature

Peeled TomatoesTo peel the tomatoes, place in acontainer and pour boiling water overto cover. Let the sit for 2 minutes, thenrun them under the cold tap for about30 seconds. The peel should come offeasily.

Remove bones from chicken:A. With a sharp knife loosen the

skin off the parts of thechicken except the breast.

B. Cut off the wingsC. Cut away and remove the

carcass by the breast and the

polkas and thighs leaving theskin intactD. You are left with a whole skin

(dont worry about the holesetc) and two pieces of breastinside

Put the stuffing laid on top ofbreasts and wrap with the skin

Mashing EggsWhen mashing eggs, try rubbing the eggagainst the masher, as if grating. It ismuch quicker and much less pressurethan normal mashing but does the job just

as well.

Sweet PotatoUse cooked orange sweet potato forsweetening instead of sugar. (The Englishsweet potatoes are not as sweet as theorange ones from USA, India or SouthAfrica.)

Chicken with ApplesauceChicken is good with applesauce

Orange Ice PopsPour freshly sqeezed orange juice into icelolly molds and freeze, either with or

without sugar.

Gebrocks

Gebrocks means mixing the matzo with liquid.During the first 7 days of Pesach we dont dothis because there is a possibilty that some ofthe matzo may not have been bakedthoroughly and if some water gets on it then itmay become Chometz.

However, on Acharon She Pesach, the last dayof Pesach, we have a Minhag that we can eatgebrocks, although we havent eaten it thewhole Pesach.

Here are a few recipes with gebrocks:
