Planning a Passover seder meal is a big deal for me. It is such a huge part of the overall experience that I think it needs careful consideration. The traditional Ashkenazic menu of brisket and tzimmes are lovely — but not the only option.
For me there are additional considerations like:
- What is local and in season?
- What foods spiritually align with my kavannah for the seder?
- What foods will inspire a sense of wonder with the seder participants?
- What foods will create a delicious, cohesive menu?
Over the years, I’ve created some menus I’m pretty proud of and decided that I should compile them all together along with some of my favorite sources for new ideas. It’s important to know that my menus are not traditionally kosher in most cases and I tend to follow the Sephardic guidelines for kosher for Passover. I hope these help you to create your own amazing menu for your Passover seder.
