Hoppy Easter, and Happy Passover! A holiday-filled new menu for delivery Tuesday, 4/3

Happy Thursday, one and all!

This coming week, we have a lot of ground to cover. Easter and Passover are usually pretty close together, but they fall on the exact same week this year! Palm Sunday falls on April Fool's Day this weekend, and Easter is the following week! Passover begins at sunset on Friday evening and continues for one week.

In honor of both these holidays, among the most important in their respective calendars, I've got a whole host of celebratory dishes! Don't miss the bakery section, where there are some extra-special items waiting for you.

Thanks so much, and I look forward to cooking for you soon!

Much love,
Chef Mary

SOUP:

Roasted Beet Soup! Fresh and springy and such an amazing shade of fuchsia. $8

PLATES:

Mock Chopped Liver! Okay, it sounds crazy, but this is actually a traditional (and super delicious) dish! Made with walnuts and mushrooms, and served with crunchy veggies to dip. $12

Sweet Potato Kugel! At once savory and sweet, and entirely delicious! Served with apple-walnut charoset. $11

Millet-veggie cakes. The classic returns! Warm them up and enjoy with fresh lemon-parsley-walnut pesto, served on the side. $11

Bunny Bento! This rendition will feature bunny-shaped brown rice onigiri (rice balls) filled with a carrot and almond filling, accompanied by colorful, seasonal fruits and veggies. $11

BAKERY:

Chocolate Easter Eggs with a deliciously vegan cashew filling that will remind you of smooth, creamy cheesecake. Yum! $8

Chocolate Filled Chocolate Bunnies! Easter isn't complete without some chocolate rabbits. Penelope B. Bunny helped me choose the chocolate molds! $8

Hot Cross Buns! Hot Cross Buns! The classic little yeasted roll for Palm Sunday and Easter. $10 half dozen, $18 dozen

**************************************

As always, the vast majority of my ingredients are organic and/or local. I use vegan ingredients, free of soy, peanut, wheat, and gluten. I DO use nuts and seeds. Please let me know if you have any food allergies or sensitivities!

It helps me and the Earth if you return containers and ice packs after you are finished with them.

Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Love,
Mary

P.S. For the ingredient-sensitive among you, the mock chopped liver, the kugel, the bento, and all the bakery items are free of garlic. Everything this week happens to be fairly low on the heat spectrum. There are cashews in the soup, the chocolate eggs, and the hot cross buns. There are almonds and sesame in the bento, and walnuts in the kugel, the charoset, the pesto for the millet cakes, and the mock chopped liver. Please do double-check with me about any sensitivities, though!
