[Sca-cooks] FW:request for recipe(s)

Passover dishes also need to be kosher for Passover, which is an
additional set of rules that varies by tradition (the Sephardim (Spanish
Jewry) will eat rice during Passover while the Askenazim (Eastern European
Jewry) will not, for instance). IIRC, no leaven, which has been expanded
to include grains, seeds, and legumes. So, no flour, no beans, no corn,
etc.

Try www.recipesource.com--will give you an idea of what modern Jews might
eat for Passover, and use that as a jumping-off point. A Google search
will give you an idea of traditions and the relevant kosher laws
(kashrut).

There's a lot out there that isn't in any way historic, btw. My MIL, for
instance, serves what looks remarkably like a Thanksgiving dinner for
Seder, but with all the bready bits replaced with matzoh and the addition
of the ritual meal.

There's not a lot of information out there on what Jews ate. There is some
in the book _A Drizzle of Honey_, which is probably worth a look.
