Look! Passover Desserts from Gourmet

We haven't written too much about Passover foods yet, and there are still a couple of weeks to go (it starts April 9th). But this slideshow of desserts is a good one to get your planning started. How good does that matzo almond brittle look? It reminds us of this Chocolate Toffee Matzo Candy.

Here in New York, it's pretty easy to find Passover ingredients year-round. But in some areas, this is the only time to find certain foods, like cane sugar Coca-Cola or the matzo farfel needed for the recipe above.

Gourmet has a whole list of beautiful desserts. There's a cardamom apple cake, Parisian macaroons, and strawberry-rhubarb compote. We love how that last one ushers in one of our favorite spring ingredients, rhubarb.

I think it's a bit of a stretch for Gourmet magazine to equate those macaroons in the slideshow with "Parisian" macarons.

We make a version of your chocolate toffee matzoh recipe - make extra so you can freeze it and snack long after Passover is over. So yummy.

Also on the menu will be my favorite farfel muffins along with our other usual favorites. And I make a veg friendly matzoh ball soup! I love Passover food!
