$\"Seder:Israel\"$ <\/a>The spiritual odyssey to find freedom – voiced for generations by proclaiming “Next Year in Israel” – achieved the pinnacle at this year’s $\"Fish$ <\/a>Passover Seder at ChezHelvetica. Propelled by an upcoming trip to Israel by some guests and the incredible recipes in Yotam Ottelenghi’s “Jerusalem<\/em>” (noted with *), the theme for our menu unfolded. Israeli Charoset<\/a>, with Apples, Bananas,\u00a0Pistachios, Walnuts and Almonds covered Yehuda Matzos, accompanied by White and Red Horseradish. Grilled Fish Skewers with Hawayej Spice Mix*, paired with La Crema Chardonnay, was the first course, followed by Clear\u00a0Chicken Soup with Knaidlach* and its fragrant aroma of Ginger, Thyme $\"Falafel:Hummus\"$ <\/a>and Rosemary. Our honored guest (originally from Israel and celebrating a milestone birthday this very day), provided the most incredible Falafel, Hummus and Israeli Salad ever tasted. Luscious Fried Cauliflower with Tahini* and Couscous with Tomatoes and Onion* accompanied Middle Eastern Skewers of Lamb and Chicken.<\/a>\u00a0Robert Sinskey<\/em> Pinot Noir, Cline<\/em> Old Vines Zinfandel and Layer Cake<\/em> Shiraz filled the “mandated” cups of wine for the heartwarming evening. A decadent Chocolate Cake from Tartine Bakery was the surprise dessert for this very special occasion!<\/p>\n
