Paltrow Gets Kosher For Passover
By WENNMonday, March 29, 2010
GWYNETH PALTROW has turned kosher food guru to help fellow Jews enjoy a delicious Passover.
In the latest post on her Goop.com lifestyle website, the actress has offered up a series of recipes and recommendations in a bid to make sure ‘Kosher for Passover’ is a tasty alternative.
She writes, “Keeping kosher will be easy this year now that I have discovered Claudia Roden’s brilliant book, The Book of Jewish Food. I have to say that irrespective of religion, culture, or background, this is one of the best books I’ve ever cooked out of.
“The flavors are outstanding and all of the recipes I have tried have been simple to prepare and quick. I included some of my favorites, which are great for Passover, or just any old day for that matter.
“In keeping with our theme, we have two different versions of matzo brei for brunch and FINALLY, we have found two gorgeous kosher wines from the Napa Valley that are sure to take your Seder (meal) up a notch.”
The recipes from Roden’s book include Iraqi Sweet and Sour Fish, Matzo and Spinach Pie and Chicken soup with rice, and there’s also a recipe for Gourmet Matzos Brie from Paltrow’s godfather Steven Spielberg.
Keeping the theme of Passover, which began on Monday (29Mar10), the actress also includes a passage from Michael Berg, the co-director of The Kabbalah Centre.
