Innovative Newcomers: From Gooey, Gluten-Free Pizza and Passover “Pringles” to Cold Brew Earl Grey Macaroons
When it comes to Passover, most rituals will never change – but that doesn’t mean your meals have to be the same ol’-same ol’. Passover starts at sundown on Wednesday, April 8, 2020. That gives you just a few weeks to figure out how to take a tradition that’s been around for thousands of years and make it feel fresh.
KAYCO (www.kayco.com) and Manischewitz, two of the most trusted names in kosher food, are here to help. So is Kosher.com (www.Kosher.com), the premier website for all things kosher. These institutions keep a sharp eye on consumer trends in order to develop and launch exciting new products and recipes every year. That’s why, in today’s health-minded climate, the focus is on better-for-you options that inspire satisfying meals while also promoting physical well being.
Innovative rollouts from KAYCO/Manischewitz
Skeptics take heart: gone are the days when Passover “substitutes” can leave a bad taste in your mouth. You’d never know that Manischewitz’s Gluten–Free Sicilian-style Pizza and Absolutely GlutenFree Stacked Potato Chips (available in 3 flavors) are kosher for Passover, let alone gluten–free! Then there’s dairy-free Gefen Almond Milk, perfect with gluten–free Gefen Granola; “clean” non-GMO snacks like Beet Chips and Carrot Chips; and vegan 5-ingredient Freedom Bars for wholesome snacking.
You can even enjoy a sandwich during Passover this year thanks to rolls from No Way! It’s Gluten Free. The Tuscanini brand is introducing 4 varieties of all-natural sparkling seltzers with zero calories, bottled at the source and imported from Italy. And Heaven & Earth’s unique new veggie juice blends come in single-serve packs for nutritious refreshment on the go.
Admittedly, not all food trends are quite so virtuous. Go ahead and indulge in new finds like Manischewitz Cold Brew Macaroons in two varieties, Coffee and Earl Grey (whaaaat?!), made from real tea and coffee.
Of course, some classics are perfect the way they are. This year Manischewitz reboots the packaging for everyone’s favorite Horseradish, now in adorable mason jars you can put straight on the Seder table. They are also introducing Handmade Shmura Matzo with a light, delicate texture – perfect for the traditional Seder.

Café Coyote working hard to keep people employed Now enjoy their signature dishes and margaritas for Pickup and Delivery
In accordance with orders from California Governor Gavin Newsom and San Diego Health Officials, Café Coyote in Old Town has closed operations for dine in service; however, San Diegans should be aware that their favorite Mexican restaurant is still open for takeout and delivery food orders, is still selling gift cards for future use and, as of today, is selling beer, wine and famous margaritas to go and delivery!

Now those same beloved margaritas as well as 6-packs of beer and Rancho Coyote Vineyard wine bottles, will be available to loyal patrons for pick-up.
In an effort to support the California alcoholic beverage industry at large, an industry that will suffer significantly from forced closures and stay-at-home regulations, a temporary suspension specific legal prohibition has been put in place, beginning Friday, March 20th, permitting bars and restaurants to serve alcohol to customers on a takeout basis. This regulation will allow businesses like Café Coyote to service the community, pay rent and keep staff employed as we all navigate uncertain times and changes with how we live our daily lives.Social distancing, shelter in place, and stay at home orders are evolving systems, but Café Coyote stays consistent in their commitment to serve the community in every way possible and is adjusting quickly to the changing landscape of restaurant operations.

Poached Salmon with Savory Cherry Salad
By Chef Sher Castellano
Poaching is an incredible easy and practically foolproof way to prepare salmon. The poaching liquid can be as simple as water and sea salt and adds infused gentle flavor while keeping the fish moist and cooked perfectly. The poached salmon is placed on a bed of thick Greek yogurt and topped with a tangy, sweet and savory cherry salad of Northwest cherries, fresh parsley, green onion, lots of extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt and black pepper.

It gives the loyal members a chance to let their culinary talents shine while sharing their own recipes with the community of seafood lovers and conscious consumers. Sitka Salmon Shares reward the member that provides the very best entry with a trip to Sitka, Alaska. Enjoy this recipe from member Rebeca Itzkowich, and as always, stay wild.
Ingredients
For the salmon:
- 1½ lb sockeye salmon
- 3 ancho chili peppers, without seeds and veins
- ½ cup of raw peanuts
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- ¼ of large yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of fresh orange juice
- juice of one lemon
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- ½ cube of vegetable bouillon
- 2 cedar planks
For serving:
- 12 large iceberg lettuce leaves for the tacos
- ½ small pineapple, cut into very small squares
- ½ large red onion, minced
- green scallions, minced
- cilantro leaves, minced
Directions
- PREPARE CEDAR PLANKS
Soak the cedar planks in water at least two hours before grilling.
- MAKE RUB
In cast iron frying pan, brown the onion, chili peppers, peanuts and sesame seeds over a slow flame stirring constantly. Peppers will become soft and pliable and the ingredients will release a wonderful aroma. Make sure they do not burn.
Place the browned ingredients in a food processor with the olive oil, orange and lemon juices, bouillon, salt and pepper. Make sure everything is well incorporated.
- COOK SALMON
Heat the grill to medium. Charcoal or gas will work well. Place the salmon filet skin side down single layer on the cedar plank and rub the mixture all over the salmon to seal it.
Grill for 12 to 15 minutes. Start checking the salmon for doneness after about 12 minutes. The salmon is done when it is uniformly pink in the center.
- PLATE & SERVE
When the salmon is done assemble the tacos: on the iceberg lettuce leaves put some of the salmon and then sprinkle a bit of pineapple, cilantro, red onion, chives.

Just grilling the fish with coconut oil or avocado oil in a nonstick pan. I will put some soy sauce and five spice seasoning if it’s a cod or halibut. If it is a salmon, I will put nothing when I am cooking, only add some lime juice or blacken seasoning to serve. Super simple recipes, but it works! But you can always try some Sitka Salmon Shares’ challenging recipes if you are good at cooking.
