Mealtime Magic: 3 Seder-Worthy Menus

The annual Passover dilemma: you want all of your guests to enjoy mouthwatering dishes, but chances are “mouthwatering” will mean different things to different people around your Seder table. And you definitely don’t want to spend every moment of your time in the kitchen!

If planning a Seder meal is like putting together a puzzle, KAYCO (www.kayco.com) has the answers. The leading purveyor of kosher foods in the U.S. has joined forces with Naomi Nachman, author of the definitive Perfect for Passover cookbook, and Kosher.com (www.kosher.com), the popular online kosher lifestyle community, to present a trio of special menus for the vegetarians, pescetarians, and adventurous eaters in your life.

Each distinctive culinary lineup features appetizers, entrees, soups, sides, and desserts from Nachman’s cookbook and Kosher.com’s vast treasury of recipes for every occasion. These dishes tap into Kayco’s portfolio of thousands of Passover products from 150+ trusted brands.

And when the Seders are over, let Kayco’s latest bounty of new products make Passover 2019 healthy, delicious, and easy for those with busy lives (a.k.a. everybody).
