Pesach 2027

The first Seder is on the evening of Wednesday, April 21, 2027

Plan the whole Yom Tov in one place: recipes checked for chametz, a menu you build yourself and a single shopping list.

On Pesach we eat matzah and keep away from chametz, anything made from wheat, barley, rye, oats or spelt that has risen. Every recipe below has been checked ingredient by ingredient, so you can plan the Seder and the rest of the week with confidence.

Customs differ on kitniyot (rice, corn, legumes and the like): many Ashkenazi families avoid them and many Sephardi families eat them. Use the kitniyot switch to show the recipes that fit your family.

Pesach prep timeline

Pesach 2027 begins on the evening of Wednesday, April 21. Ask your rabbi for the exact times for your community.

  1. Six weeks before (March 10): Decide how many you are hosting, choose your Seder menu and start counting the meals you need to cover.
  2. Four weeks before (March 24): Order matzo, wine and anything that is hard to find, and plan how you will clean room by room.
  3. Two weeks before (April 7): Shop for the pantry items and freezer-friendly dishes on your list.
  4. One week before (April 14): Finish cleaning and switch over the kitchen. Ask your rabbi about selling chametz and kashering.
  5. The evening before (Tuesday, April 20): The search for chametz takes place that night.
  6. Erev Pesach (Wednesday, April 21): Cook the Seder meal, and then it is time for the Seder.

Pesach food questions

What is kitniyot?

Kitniyot are rice, corn, beans, lentils, peas, peanuts, soy, sesame and similar foods. Ashkenazi custom is not to eat them on Pesach, while many Sephardi families do. Use the switch above the recipes to see what fits your home.

How does this page decide a recipe is Pesach-friendly?

It reads each recipe's ingredient list and leaves out anything with flour, bread, pasta, oats, yeast, soy sauce and other chametz. It is a first pass based on the names of the ingredients, not a ruling, so always follow your own rabbi and your family custom.

Do I still need a hechsher on the products?

Yes. Processed foods such as wine, vinegar, vanilla, baking powder, powdered sugar, chocolate, broths, seasonings and cheese should have a reliable Pesach certification. Each recipe page lists the ingredients to check.

Can I serve meat and dairy at the same Seder?

Not at the same meal. When your menu mixes meat and dairy dishes, the menu builder warns you.

Where is my shopping list?

Add dishes to your menu with the button on each recipe and open "My menu". The ingredients are combined into one list that you can copy or print.

Our recipes are checked automatically from their ingredient lists. They are not a replacement for your rabbi's guidance or a Pesach certification on packaged foods.
