Passover began this weekend and one of the important customs is a
Seder dinner. Whether it's a traditional or modern soirée, most people will want to include a Seder plate. The Seder plate holds seven symbolic items that retell the story of the Exodus.

If you're looking for a great side dish for your
Seder dinner, then give this
Passover Pasta Primavera a try. In this April's issue of Gourmet magazine, Melissa Roberts uses matzo cake meal to create thin strips of pasta. Accompanied by a medley of great veg, it's a dish that everyone can enjoy.

Use tones of blue, white, and silver for the look of your
Passover Seder dinner. To bring focus to the table, cover it with a gorgeous silver cloth. For each place setting, use navy blue placemats and white, blue, and silver fine china.

Wine plays an important part of the
Passover dinner known as the
Seder. According to the tradition of the Haggadah — the book you read throughout the meal — one is supposed to drink four glasses of wine, which should be kosher. Besides kosher wine, offer guests sparkling or still water.
