A Taste of Tradition

Pesach-Anything's Possible!

People worry a lot about Passover cooking. "There's nothing to eat," is a constant complaint. And when one doesn't even use matzah meal, the feeling intensifies. In addition, there are many people out there who have to deal with this diet all year long. People who are on gluten-free diets must contend with eating "Passover style" foods on a constant basis.

It is for both reason and for both groups of people that this cookbook was compiled. Anybody who has had to deal with food restrictions knows how difficult it can be to be creative without becoming overwhelmed by the challenges involved. After making wheat-free (read: matzah meal free) Passovers for so many years, the time has come to share this wealth of knowledge so that others can benefit from it. Eating wheat-free need not be "taste-free"! Pesach--Anything's Possible contains hundreds of food ideas of traditional and contemporary Jewish cooking. It is packed with Jewish flavor, all kosher for Passover, all gluten-free, all appealing and tasty.


Tamar Ansh is a renowned recipe developer, food columnist, and member of the IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals). She is the author of three cookbooks, most recently A Taste of Tradition: Pesach - Anything's Possible! Over 350 non-gebrochts, gluten-free, and wheat-free recipes published by Targum Press

While all of the ingredients in the Passover recipes are kosher for Passover, each community has its own customs as to what to use or not use on Passover. Please also note that any processed food must have a reliable "Kosher for Passover" certification.

About the book
I have this book and used it through Passover. I haven't found any recipes that contain matzo meal or kitniyot. The book has a lot of vegetarian recipes like soups, salads, side dishes or dairy. Vegetables in a lot of dishes could be peeled. The only problem that I came across is - spices. Some recipes, not a lot, call for spices that I do not use on Passover. But I will try to make them during the year. It is a great book and I'm planning to use it whole year long. I bought it at the Targum press and I'm highly recommend it.

gluten free is not pesachdik
First, I will also ask if there are any diet friendly and vegetarian recipes.

Second, those of us on gluten free diets are not eating Passover style all year long. Many of us (especially the vegetarians) eat fair amounts of beans and nongluten containing grains, such as rice and corn. During Pesach I enjoy eating in other people's homes without worrying so much about the ingredients in the food. Only two things I cannot eat are kosher for Passover.

Is the book vegetarian and diet friendly
I am curious if this book has vegetarian and low calorie recipes. In going through my Jewish cookbooks very few have vegetarian/pescatariian friendly and reduced calorie selections. I would appreciate some input
