Think you know kosher? Did you know that there is also a designation of "kosher for Passover"? Yes, at certain times and for certain occasions there are even more rules than the regular kosher guidelines. And during Passover, you are limited in what you can use and how you can use it. With Bubby's Passover Cookbook you can get Bubby's famous Matzah Brei recipe. For you koser newbies, that's matza (those big square flat cracker thingies) that has been broken, soaked in water or milk and mixed with eggs for an omelette and fried in butter or smaltz. Yum!

fyi - "Bubby" is Yiddish for Grandmother.
