VEGAN PASSOVER RECIPES
EGGLESS & DAIRY-FREE DISHES

Trying to figure out what to serve your vegan daughter-in-law? Looking for new parve Passover dishes? Do you find it challenging to get through eight days of matzah with good humor? The 48-page Vegan Passover Recipes is for you.

Chef Nancy Berkoff, R.D., has created 34 delicious Passover dishes. Start with Savory Sweet Potato, Cream of Asparagus, or French Onion soups.

The house will smell wonderful while baking Winter Squash with Apricot Stuffing and Apple and Herb Mushrooms. Chef Berkoff's Carrot pancakes are both colorful and tasty. Eggplant/matzah pancakes can be made ahead of time, cooked, and refrigerated for later. For those who don't want to fry these fritters, instructions for baking are included.

Nancy provides the basics: A vegetable stock without chicken fat or added sodium, Savory Spaghetti Sauce, Zucchini/Potato Kugel, and Sweet and Sour Stuffed Cabbage (A new spin on an oldie, but goody).

If you have guests looking for a spicier holiday, try Minted Carrots with Chilies or Moroccan Roasted Eggplant and Pepper Salad. Spinach and Okra Stew served with Scotch Bonnet or Habanero chili is meant to be hot, but if you don't want a lot of heat, the chili can be removed. Make life even more interesting with these sauces: Eggplant and Almond, Apricot and Tomato, or Coconut Curry over Greens.

In a rush like your ancestors leaving Egypt? Nancy's microwave recipes feature Pizza for Pesach, Pizza Casserole (a more sophisticated version for the adults), Vegetarian Kishka, Spinach Mushroom Kugel, and A.M. Crunchies.

If you're feeling brave and want to try and convert some of your non-Passover dessert recipes, here are the equivalents for flour:
