For many of us (present company included), dessert is the best part of any meal. Concluding a repast with a sweet treat is simply a ritual many of us are unwilling to give up. But whenPassover comes along, finding "approved" sweet recipes can be a bit more challenging.

In case you're not familiar with the dietary customs people follow when they observe Passover, one cool detail is thatevery spring,世界各地的犹太人贸易loved bread for matzo, or unleavened bread that resembles an enormous cracker, as a part of their Passover traditions. As a way to honor the period that the Jewish people fled from Egypt to escape slavery, they gave up leavened food for eight days and eight nights to commemorate the bread that was consumed in the desert when they fled from the Pharaoh.

But the Passover dietary practices don't stop with just skipping the bun on a burger or foregoing croutons on a salad. During Passover, Jewish people avoid products made from five grains: wheat, spelt, barley, oats, and rye. And certain sects of Judaism require observers to also avoid corn, rice, legumes, and seeds.
