With Passover 2008 starting on the evening of April 19, I thought I'd share some tips.
As my longtime readers might remember, for a "matzoh ball" mix I'm a fan of Lieber's Knaidel Mix (right), which is made from potatoes. Among the gluten-free products that are suitable for Passover are treats from Shabtai Gourmet, which include old-fashioned bakery sweets such as rainbow cookies. Shabtai, which markets its products at supermarkets and health food stores as well as Amazon and FreshDirect, has been reaching out for years to gluten-free people in the greater metropolitan area and beyond, including this blogger and Mike Eberhart of Gluten Free Blog. So far I've found that, with Shabtai, preferences are surprisingly varied (for instance, Mike and I both like the Meltaway Crumbs, but he and my mom seem to like the layer cakes more than I do, and I once had a very decadent almond pasty marble cakey treat that I'm having trouble identifying at this point), so I think you could do worse than sampling various Shabtai products and judging for yourself. (It's great to have choices, isn't it?)
For the DIY crowd, Gluten-Free Bay offers many Passover recipes. And Ellen Allard at I Am Gluten Free offers her own recipes including one for a matzo substitute using a mix from Breads from Anna. Here is Ellen's accompanying video.

The kneidel mixes are also a good coating for fried chicken cutlets. I use them for almost anything that calls for bread crumbs. There are a few brands available at Passsover and lots of other goodies for us. Just look for things marked "non gebrokst" and there will be NO wheat in it, just potato. This is the time of year I stock up. It's the only time you can find BLINTZES or KNISHES that we can eat. Look for Kineret brand in the frozen stuff. Just check the labels.
