Fennel Salad (far right)
Directions:
Prepare a green salad of lettuce, cucumbers, celery and thinly sliced fresh fennel bulb. Toss with a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and a bit of grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. It tastes delicious and you can tell the children you are making “Licorice Salad” since fennel has a light licorice flavor.
Leek Cakes (second from right)

Ingredients:
4 cups leeks, cleaned and chopped in food processor or chopped medium fine by hand
1 cup matzah meal

1-1/2 cups milk
Olive oil for pan-frying
