Passover
Passover is just around the corner. Let’s be honest, our plans for it were completely different, but life and events have made their own adjustments. So what’s left for us… yes, we adapt! We spent a long time thinking how to describe this year’s Passover and realised that the main theme is on the run (or an express Passover)!
On the run, we scrub the house clean, on the run, we get groceries, on the run, we cook, on the run, we feed. On the run we cry, on the run we laugh. Meet, hug, and run on.
All of Israel is running from siren to siren, from shelter to shelter, but that’s no reason not to celebrate.
We haven’t prepared many recipes this time, but each of them fits into the current reality. Everything is quick, not demanding at all, but delicious! You can take it with you to the shelter and share with neighbours, you can leave it in a multicooker or set a remote timer on the oven, and everything will be ready. No broths this time, but we’ll make up for it next year!
And for those who are now in a calmer situation, we have a whole lot under the Passover tag.
Don’t run too far, we’re here, right next to you!
- Matzos sushi
A very quick snack, you can vary the fillings and basically put in anything that’s lying around in the fridge!

Another snack, a bit more substantial, but still quick to make, very cheesy, very filling and warming, both emotionally and physically. Helps break the ice in the shelter, as melted stretchy cheese can be tricky.

And this is already a full dinner. In field conditions, it can proudly take centre stage at the Seder, but this pie has one advantage: it can be prepared very quickly, almost without your involvement. Suitable for the oven, multicooker, or air fryer.

No dessert, no way! Our version uses apples, but you can swap them for pears, plums or even cherries if you happen to have some lying around (defrost them if frozen!). Quick, tasty, cosy, not too sweet. We’d suggest loading two batches into the oven right away…
