No Potato Passover (Win a free Cookbook!) (Updated)
Update: We have a winner - StacyNY. Please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
We're kicking off this with our Passover recipes. It's not to early to start thinking what you'll be cooking. We'll be featuring bi-weekly passover posts so be sure to come back and check often. Our first post is aptly named the No Potato Passover. Banish those potatoes this holiday and welcome in exciting new recipes that will enjoy cooking all year round - CookKosher
I started experimenting with food and art as a young child, my first concoction assembled using my highchair as a pallet. Needless to say, my experimentation at that point didn’t produce a culinary or artistic masterpiece; but as a fiercely determined child, I persevered. It got to the point where my parents couldn't leave the house without warning the babysitter, "Make sure Aviva doesn’t cook anything!” Despite their warnings, they returned to a culinary surprise, every time without fail. Finally, after years of salty chocolate cake and carrots floating in water, I mastered a few dishes and I was able to cook my first successful shabbos meal at the age of twelve.
From that point on, my journey continued and I kept dabbling in the kitchen. I loved the feeling of accomplishment when my challah dough rose correctly, or a cake came out of the oven perfectly light and fluffy. I began to recreate food I tasted in restaurants or stores (I had yet to learn the value of the term "home cooked”). The process was all so exhilarating!
After graduating from the French Culinary Institute and finishing my degree in Studio Art from Hunter College, over time I became a visual artist, author, and chef. I combined all of these passions, as well as my love of travel, to bring you the No Potato Passover, a unique blend of flavors from all over the world. Not only are the recipes in this book easy and delicious, they are mostly "low carb" and gluten free due to Passover dietary restrictions and the challenge of this book.No Potato Passover is also a vibrant expression of my travels and intrinsic artistic sensibilities. I’ve certainly come a long way from my highchair concoctions, and I know that your journey to culinary creativity will be just as fun as mine has been.
Here are a few exciting recipes from my cookbook!
Spiced Chicken with Spicy Mango Salsa
So full of delicious flavor!
Cream of Broccoli Soup
Thought you can't make a good pareve cream soup? Think again!
Rosemary Walnut Crusted Salmon with Garlic Aioli
Bursting with taste!

Eggs are so essential for pesach cooking.They are like tasty glue that help hold things together.
Dozens and dozens of eggs!!!
Eggs, matza, and gefilte fish are the my most used ingredients.
Eggs! I use tapioca starch instead of potato starch since i had a potato-allergic kid
potatoes, potatoes, potatoes, but if i win your cookbook, i could change that!
eggs are a staple, as are matzo and cake meal and potato starch. Our other big ingredient is meat. Pesach is a very fleishig holiday.
Eggs and oil
Definitely EGGS, whether its for matzah brie, kugels, cakes, etc.. It is the key ingredient that can turn around any recipe!
My Pesach shopping list usually consists of eggs, cottage cheese, and sweet recipe gefilte fish. I think I actually use eggs the most - they seem to go into just about everything. OY, my high cholesterol and Passover do not go so well together!
wow these receipees soulds great!!!!!!!!!thanks I can't wait to try the fish
Eggs Eggs and more eggs. If you can't guess I use more eggs then anything else during passover.
i'll let you know in a few weeks- this will be my first pesach that i am making and not just eating whatever is served to me. i have a wide selection of condiments just in case everything tastes bad.
Rice! (We're Sephardic) ;-)
Eggs!
most important ingredient...LOVE! can't live without my farfel...and eggs
Definitely, eggs.
Matzah Balls & farfel.. I can Live off it for passover expect everytime I turn around its gone. lol & Lets not forget cake since my Birthday is most every year on Passover. Cakes have come so far. I remeber one year we made 6.
I make my kids A LOT of matzah and egg combinations. However, my husband and I try to limit our egg and matzah intake and have developed a new "game" where we try a few new vegetarian dishes. If we are successful we carry the recipes over into our everyday. If we do not succeed, we blame it on the matzah meal!
Like most have said, I use eggs more than anything else during Passover. You can do a lot with eggs and they're always delicious.
Definitely eggs! We buy caseloads lol.
Would love to win this to impress my Mother In Law coming to our house for Passover for the first time.... Our most used ingredient??? Definitely Grated Parmesan... It HAS to be Miller's Brand.... I am even calling the company directly to order this year so the store does not run out!!! ;o)
eggs win
I would have to say that I use lots and lots of eggs during Pesach. Every year I promise myself that I'm not going to do special cooking for the holiday. For dinner, I can make a protein, a salad, a baked potato or sweet potato and a green vegatable. So why do I make all the Passover specialties we love so much? It certainly makes it a more fattening holiday, but we look forward to it every year.
Quinoa! and cottage cheese, onions, apples, and of course eggs. We do lots of milchiks lunches, so we go thru lots of salmon, cheese and more eggs I suppose!
Definitely eggs
It's a tie between 5 dozen eggs and 5 pounds of matzoh.
Potatoes, eggs & chicken
I'd have to say it's a tie between eggs and potatoes. Possibly eggs wins if you count desserts.
Eggs, oil and Matzah.. :)
Eggs of course and Potatoes (but hope I win so I can change that) and good old multi purpose Mince Meat!!!!!
Definitely eggs! I think last year I went through 5 trays of 30 eggs and my kids were only 5, 4 and 2!!!
Eggs, then oil and matza...
Most used ingredient is EGGS for sure! I go through 2 cases and we're just 5 people!
Potatoes! Maybe if I win this cookbook it won't be potatoes this year :)
Potatoes, matzo, matzo meal and use prunes to help people who get constipated from all the matzo lol
I generally go thru about 7 dz eggs and 15 pounds of onions. these are my most used items. I also go thru 10 pounds of potato- my kids tell me it is not passover without the potatoes
Eggs, eggs & eggs again!!( and loads of chocolate for noshing)
Generally we use a lot of matzos and eggs. My mom used to make the best fried matzos in the world. I just wait for Passover to enjoy this dish.
Eggs would be the most used, especially if I can get some fresh ones.
oy, its a tie between potatoes and eggs. I need to win that cookbook. Keep the potato from being an endangered species. SAVE THE POTATO!
Eggs....a ew years ago used 50 dozen
Eggs, matza, potato ... hear, hear "Rozebush"!
potatoes, onions and meat - for every meal!
Matzoh, potatoes, eggs..
I love using quinoa and almond flour!
potatoes and chicken!
eggs - no question! everything else is made WITH eggs!
I most definitely use eggs and potatoes most. It's welcoming to see a recipe book published with lots of recipe ideas, less the potatoes. Looking forward....
Lots of eggs!!!! and matza
You've gotta crack it up to eggs by the dozen!
I use lots of farfel. Kugels, granola, in soups for crunch.
Eggs is the winner! IT TAKES UP 1/3 OF MY PRECIOUS REFRG SPACE and i always have to replenish 2nd days with MORE eggs.
eggs
Definitely eggs :) Need I say more?!
eggs and potatoes, I need this book to change that.
Eggs & Potatoes. (Hopefully maybe I can change that).
--A typical pesach menu; Breakfast-eggs, Lunch-potatoes/eggs--
Not much different than anyone else.
Definitely use eggs and potato starch...
eggs and with your cookbook ill erase my 2nd top ten ingredients mostly used on pesach which of course is potatoes!!! thanx
eggs and potato starch-thats forsure
really good quality peel able fresh vegetables, my home grown herbs, kosher salt...add that with / or, to, meat, fish, eggs, potatoes or whatever your customs are for Pesach, that's all that's need to make just about anything wonderful for Pesach... guess I went beyond the one ingredient :)

eggs, matzah meal, oil
POTATO STARCH
eggs, onions, carrots and raisins. not all in the same dish.
eggs is probably used most, in so many different versions- cooked, separated, mashed, beaten...!
Matzah with butter is my favorite
Eggs and onions. Also cauliflower!
matzoh. nothing beats matzoh and butter.
I use lots of eggs, lots of matzah, less potatos.
Eggs in evey form, lots and lots and lots... of unleavened "matzah" tortillas, greens, olive oil, sea salt, and peanut butter!
Eggs & potatoes! However, I always try new recipes every Passover and, usually, come up with ones that everyone requests to be made again! Hope to win the cookbook - would love some new recipes from you!
between eggs and potatoes- it's very close. I'd go with eggs!
eggs!!!
We eat the most Matzah!!!!
6 dozen eggs. Oy!
chicken soup
Eggs eggs and more eggs!!!!!!
Lots and lots of egg whites, potato, and chicken...
Eggs and eggs. The more veggies, I use, the less eggs, though so this is going to be a vegetable year. We will still have kugels and desserts.
Eggs!!! seems like i'm in good company :)
Onions, tons of eggs and potatoes, But with out the onion I would not survive
eggs, and fresh veggies - if it's possible (as a vegetarian), I eat more salad on Pesach then the rest of the year.....
I use a lot of Almonds, and other nut products, and seasonings like Cardamom
Sweet potatoes and eggs. To save our health, I use many egg whites. Thank you for these cookbook give aways.
Tons of veggies. Especially asparagus, onions, sweet potatoes, cabbage and carrots. Eggs are always a go to as well as potato starch
Eggs, eggs and more eggs. I start with a case of 15 dozen and usually add on at least 10 dozen more. Onions is a close second.
Egss and potatoes are my pesach staple!
Eggs and potato starch. And by the end of Pesach, no one wants to see them again for a while.
eggs and vegetables.
Eggs, Potatoes and Matzoh
eggs and potatoes ( i am not big fan of potatoes so would love the book for sure).
eggs, eggs, eggs
Eat clean so to speak, that is very similar to a usual menu but no bread or flour. Must admit we become honorary Sephardim and eat rice and such. My kids obsess with Matza Pizza but this year I may try Mirriyummy's husband's pizza recipe. I love to make a version of chocolate chewie cookies using 2 T of potato starch in place of flour.
It seems that I run out of both matzah and eggs every year, no matter how many I stock up on at the beginning. Plus jam for all the matzah brei (and there go the matzah and eggs!).
Definitely Eggs!! Oo oo and Matzoh we go through a ton of that too!!
The most useds single ingredient is eggs like many people said but The largest group of foods I use are Vegetables. Most vegetables are kosher for passover so it's not fake food. I can use most of my regular recipes and some new ones. Just good, fresh and healthy food. Counter acts some of the cake and matza eating.
Eggs, eggs, eggs and matzo, matzo, matzo. Those are Pesach staples!
EGGS!i try 2 use as many fruits and vegies as possible...
