A little family tradition, your way.
Holiday and everyday categories overlap—brisket, kugel, and challah often belong on a celebration table too. Recipes vary across Jewish communities and households. These are simple home-style versions; regional favorites such as hummus and shakshuka are shared with other cultures.
For Passover, choose ingredients accepted for Passover by your family. Meat, dairy, and pareve notes describe the listed ingredients; they are not a kosher certification. Timing is approximate and includes resting or chilling where noted.
