vegan seder plate

This year, the traditional Passover seder takes place this week (my how time flies) and many a vegan will be celebrating with vegetarian haggadahs, a vegan seder plate and, of course, a sumptious vegan meal, hopefully ending with something as delectable as Hannah Kaminsky’s matzah toffee or even just the paired down, plain chocolate matzoh our own family has tried in recent years.

The absolutely wonderful news is that there is an abundance of mouth-watering vegan recipes available — from both the Sephardic and Ashkenazic traditions — all for the price of a browser visit (and the required ingredients).

Additional resources for vegan seders can be found on The Vegetarian Resource Group site, PETA, and JewishVeg.com.

If you have a favorite recipe, haggadah, or blog post on your own seder that you’d like to share, please post in the comments. Our own celebrations (including pictures of some of the above-mentioned recipes) are posted here and here. This year, we’ll probably try Hannah Kaminksy’s matzah toffee and PETA’s Apple-Date Mousse. Chagsameach!
