Have you seen this from Joan Nathan's cookbooks?
It is so amazing, we will definitely use year round. Would be great for lunch. 
I used peeled Fuji apples and extra 1/4 c. sweet postato.  Can also be made in a
10" casserole dish.

Joan Nathan, author of "Jewish Cooking in America" and "The
Jewish Holiday Kitchen," joins Martha to prepare kugel, one
of her most popular Passover dishes. Kugel, which means
"pudding" in Yiddish, can be a sweet or savory side dish
prepared with potatoes, vegetables, noodles, or meat.


RECIPE


MRS. FEINBERG'S VEGETABLE KUGEL Makes 9 muffins

1/2 cup pareve margarine, melted and cooled, plus more for
muffin tin
1 cup unpeeled, grated Granny Smith apple (1 medium apple)
1 cup peeled, grated sweet potato (1 small potato)
1 cup peeled, grated carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
1 cup matzo meal
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon  nutmeg
1/2 cup sugar

Heat oven to 325°. Lightly brush muffin tins with margarine.
Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup margarine, apple, sweet
potato, carrot, matzo meal, salt, baking soda, cinnamon,
nutmeg, and sugar.

Stir to combine. Divide mixture evenly between nine of the
prepared muffin tins (three will be left empty).

Cover with parchment paper and aluminum foil. Bake 30
minutes. Increase oven temperature to 350°, remove paper and
foil, and continue baking until firm and dark golden brown,
5 to 10 minutes more.

Serve immediately.

SPECIAL THANKS

Just a word of caution about the NAET... I know someone who has a
daughter with allergies like these, and she tried the NAET and it
actually made it WORSE!!  So, apparently NAET does not work for
everyone, for whatever reason.

By the way, I just bought a box of Gluten-free Oat Matza (Shmura matza
to boot) from Glatt 27.  It was $23 so that's ALL I'm buying, but at
least I have matza I can eat for seder....

I don't understand. I thought halachically kasher l'Pesach matzoh
could contain only wheat and water.

Olive oil here.

Mostly I try to go as much with whole foods as possible on Pesach. My
preference would be to have the only processed things I buy for Pesach
be dairy products, oil, potato starch, matzoh, and salt, but it never
quite works out that way.

Hi, does anyone have a truly egg-free matzoh for Pesach.  I think Manischewitz
may have one, I'm waiting for a call back but would like to know actual
experience.  Streits told me not to use theirs if my daughter's egg allergy is
severe which it is very (anaphalaxis two years ago, last yr at Pesach we had to
go on Prednisone so I am completely freaked.)  I will go to my Rabbi for a
hetare if necessary.

also trying to find the matzoh crackers my other kids love, cake meal, potato
starch, farfel, etc.

Also, what oils do you use?  she is allergic to safflower so we are going to use
olive oil and maybe sunflower oil.

Lily is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, dairy, safflower, honey, coconut
and possibly sesame.

Any other products you have used successfully would be great to share, maybe we

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Claire,

"Pesach: Anything's Possible" does look great. The publisher sent me a copy. I
am about to try the banana bread recipe tonight!

If anyone is interested in purchasing it, you can find it here:

http://tinyurl.com/glutenfreepesach

You can also find it at some Jewish bookstores. I've seen it here in NJ.
  But it's actually cheaper to buy it online. The link above gives a discounted
price.

It has 350 recipes, all of which are gluten-free. It seems like it'd be great
for year-round, especially for those folks who avoid eating much in the way of
grains (since it's all non-gebrokts). I'm looking forward to trying some of the
baked goods.

It also is much prettier than her last cookbook, and MUCH bigger.

Gluten-Free Bay: Kosher Recipes for Gluten-Free Living
http://www.glutenfreebay.com

I just received Tamar Ansh's "new" Passover cookbook, Pesach-Anything's
Possible. The recipes are gluten free. They look good. However, many-if not
most- of the recipes are repeats from her first book,A Taste of Tradition.

Fresh Direct is putting in a concerted effort to carry more and more GF foods
and the other night I noticed there is a whole line which they never carried
before that are GF and Passover friendly.
I do have soy allergies as well and did not scrutinize the ingredients yet, but
was very excited to see so many new choices.
Plus they deliver!! (Free Delivery thru 3/31 if you also order a min. of $10. in
Dairy products. The end of the year it was free delivery with Produce.)
They as well as Whole Foods, are very open to adding new products to their
inventory. I always remind them that many GF products are often perfect for
Jewish holidays as many come from Israel.
Good Luck!

I tasted the Kosher Naturals challah muffins. They are made with gf oat flour,
honey, etc. My opinion is that they are too sweet, too heavy, and much too
fattening at 200+ calories each.

I also tried Katz's cinnamon rugelah. Also too sweet for me. I expect the
chocolate ones will be, too.

I did like the "strawberry shortcake" muffins.

I went Passover shopping today. Haggadah brand has some new cookies, all gluten
free.

I have had one failed experiment in gluten-free matzo balls....
anybody have a successful recipe?

We did.  Both of my children and I are gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian,
well, we do eat fish on holidays.  We do not use sfardic standards if something
else can be used--we can eat oats, where some can't-- and though I can make
beans and my husband can eat them, he is not allowed to take advantage and have
popcorn evry night, which he does all the rest of the year!lol  We try to honor
as much as we can the ashkenazic customs, but when health concerns came in, the
rabbi allowed us to  tweak them alittle.  We are not allowed corn, rice, millet,
soy.  The rabbi talked with us about what we use and what we do and so for flour
I may use sorghum, potato starch, arrowroot powder, and tapioca flour.  No bean
flour, but we can eat beans that are not processed.  caveat--This is only what
my rabbi has said for me.  Talk to your rabbi for what will work for you.

I joined the group a while back, but have had computer problems since then.
Is there a place to find info regarding having a GF Kosher Passover?  What types
of matzoh can we have and still keep Kosher?
Does anyone have or know where to find out how to make Potato Starch cookies?  I
live in SoCal and have go to LA to find Passover cookies.  I tend to stock up
for the year, but they do cost a lot.

Thanks for the help, and sorry if this has been covered before.

Dear Claire:

There is a kosher, parave bakery in Culver City, CA called "The Sensitive
Baker."  I guess that makes me lucky.  I've used their birthday cakes for
grandchildren's parties.  A bit far from you and we get them frozen and let them
defrost.

Just a comment,

Bea

Also, the Barkat crackers contain "maize starch" - and corn is not permitted on
Pesach, right?

> Just so no one else on this list is confused, the Barkat matzo crackers you
linked to aren't considered matzo by Jewish law. Halachically my understanding
is we can only say the bracha (hamotzi) over something made of wheat, barley,
spelt, rye, or oats. Even oats are not accepted as one of those grains by some
rabbis. If one says hamotzi over a "matzo" that doesn't include one of those 5
grains, it's a "wasted" bracha which those of us who are observant Jews avoid at
all costs. I've heard there are Reform rabbis who would allow it in place of
regular matzo, but I'm pretty sure most (if not all) Conservative and all
Orthodox rabbis would say they can be used as a cracker but don't fulfill the
mitzvah of matzo - The bracha you'd say over them is different.
