As preparations for Pesach begin, join Chef Susan Barocas for an interactive virtual cooking demo and teaching on Haroset varieties that reflect the mosaic of Judaism around the world.

Haroset, one of Passover's favorite symbolic foods, is also one of the holiday's most diverse dishes, varying greatly by cultures and cuisines, not to mention the influences of each family and individual cook. From haroset pyramids and balls to cooked haroset, join Chef Susan Barocas to explore some of the many special traditions from Turkey, Persia, Morocco and beyond along with ideas for fun, delicious haroset-related activities at the Seder. 

Writer, chef and cooking instructor Susan Barocas is passionate about healthy, no-waste cooking and Jewish food, especially Sephardic history, cultures and cuisines. Founding director of the innovative Jewish Food Experience, she served as guest chef for three of President Obama’s White House Seders.
