Passover is one of the major family celebrations in Jewish culture, replete with generations of culinary tradition. The holiday meal, or seder (a Yiddish word meaning ‘order’ or ‘arrangement’), is combination of food, tradition and ritual that celebrates Jewish identity and the escape from Egyptian slavery over 3300 years ago. Like Jewish culture itself, the seder meal has evolved a lot over the years. For this dinner, Emily Zimmerman brings her creative, vegan spin to a classic Jewish-American holiday menu.
