Board: Jake Cohen's Passover Board
Jake Cohen's Passover Board
NYC food writer and critic Jake Cohen created this beautiful spread specifically for a Passover gathering--and here’s what he had to say about it: “I'm treating this board as my modern Seder plate! The items of the Seder plate are all representative of aspects of our Jewish history as slaves in Egypt--all the cheeses are sheep's milk as a nod to the lamb shank. The date-roasted walnuts are a tribute to Mizrahic charoset, which is just chopped walnuts and date syrup. Grapes represent wine, and finally, a curly parsley garnish that you're actually supposed to eat!”
