I've been a food blogger for over a decade, and I’ve been
blessed to have a variety of ethnic chefs teach me their special recipes. However,
this month I am going to share my favorite Jewish recipes that are served
during Passover. These recipes come from a woman I cherished growing up, my neighbor
Mrs. Cohen. She didn’t have any children, and I was lucky enough that she took
a shining to me and was willing to share her cooking lessons with me. Miss you
so much, Mrs. Cohen. This charoset is simply irresistible and my top pick for the Passover Seder. Even if you're not celebrating, it's perfect as a dip or sweet
treat—trust me.
