Regardless of your religious inclinations, it's impossible to ignore the warm revelation that is a good matzo ball soup. Referred to by many as "the Jewish penicillin," matzo ball soup is known for its cold-curing properties — and no one can attest to this more than the folks behind the Carnegie Deli. This midtown Manhattan institution, which has been open for 75 years, serves up a whopping 1,500 matzo balls daily! Find out the secrets to making a great matzo ball (hint: it's all in how you roll it!), and keep watching for the recipe.
Passover begins next Tuesday, March 30, and along with it comes the ceremonious dinner known as a Seder. While the rituals surrounding the Seder are traditional, this year, I encourage you to serve a modern meal inspired by matzo. This staple can be used in all sorts of applications, and each dish on my menu incorporates it. Start with crowd-pleasing and classic matzo ball soup jazzed up with dill-horseradish pistou.
