Passover, or Pesach, is an eight-day long Jewish holiday celebrating the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt. It is one of the most important biblical holidays for Jews and for this reason it is celebrated with the family along with a lot of good kosher food, just as tradition dictates.

Here we have brought together 20+ Passover recipes 2022 for your Seder table that go from appetizers, to main courses, side dishes and desserts, both classics and modern versions revisited.

According to tradition, there must be at least five types of food in the Seder dish, including shank bone (zeroa), egg (beitzah), bitter herbs (maror), vegetables (karpas) and haroset. Sometimes hazeret (another bitter herbs) is also added.

During Passover Seder people are not allowed to eat chametz, that is all foods based on wheat, rye, oats and spelt that should "rise" when it comes in contact with water such as leavened bread, pasta or cookies. In their place are therefore served traditional dishes such as those based on matzah. Other people such as Ashkenazis also avoid eating kitniyot, which is anything that includes rice, corn seeds, mustard and some legumes such as beans.

Precisely for these reasons, Jews have been handing down for generations numerous Passover, kosher-friendly recipes both traditional and modern. Whether you just want to enjoy a kosher meal or are looking for some new ideas for a healthy or even vegetarian menu, try the classic dishes of matzo ball soup, brisket, short ribs and gefilte fish. Don't forget to end your Passover Seder dinner with a delicious dessert like a flourless cake, and be sure not to choose some of our kitniyot dishes.
