Now, she is sharing 35 recipes-- both from her family and fresh favorites-- for ways to cook with matzo that are so good, readers will want to make them all year round. Dishes like Matzo Granola, Caesar Salad with Matzo Croutons, and Matzo Spanikopita show readers just how delicious and versatile this ingredient can be. With its bright photography and fun package, this book is sure to become an instant seder (and anytime) must-have.

Michele Streit Heilburn was “born into matzo.” Her great grandfather, Aron Streit, founded the family business. Her cousins continue the family tradition.
Michele’s brilliant idea was to pair up with David Kirschner, a Michelin-trained chef. Together, they’ve produced a lovely little book (the perfect gift for your Seder hostess) featuring matzo in various recipes. Some are expected (Classic Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls). Others are, well, a bit of a stretch (Matzo Tiramisu).
The best part may be the plangent black and white photos from the Streit Company archives: two men in dark suits inspect a matzo for quality. The author’s bright-eyed father welcomes customers from behind the store counter. In the best shot, two women rest in the factory doorway on makeshift seats, engaged in an arm-waving conversation that’s lost to time.
