Passover cookbook
A Passover cookbook is a cookbook for the Jewish holiday Passover.
A collection of family cookbook recipes of Passover was published by Lerner Publishing Group and its Kar-Ben Publishing division.[1] Another compilation of family recipes with a Passover chapter notes the habit of some cooks complicating standard format recipes, shiterein, a Yiddish word meaning improvisational cooking, "denoting one who cooks from experience and touch without recipes or measuring".[2]
University of Minnesota Libraries holds a special collection of Jewish cookbook recipes, including Passover and other holiday compilations "mostly from [Minnesota] women's groups".[3]
Tastes of Freedom: A Passover Cookbook is a book compiling A Taste of Pesach, "a recipe pamphlet series that transformed Passover cooking for tens of thousands of cooks" published by Yeshiva Me'on Hatorah.[4][5][6]
Wonder Pot recipes for Passover can be found in The New Kosher for Passover Cookbook.[7]
American journalist and cookbook author Joan Nathan has published a "combination memoir and cookbook", My Life in Recipes, including family Passover recipes.[8][9]
