Roasted Tomato & Basil Soup with Herby Matza Balls
Immersive Ten Plagues Seder Menu: Plagues 1 & 2 – Blood & Frogs Serves 6 Prep time: 30 mins | Cooking time: 2h 10mins We wanted something warming to start the meal and while chicken soup might be traditional for many a festive feast, opening with tomato soup might just spark the question, ‘Why is […]
Celeriac Wild Animals

MEATBALL SALAD
