Passover Chocolate "Genoise" Cake
Carol Rosenstock
Food Editor's Notes: This is the winner in our 2008 Passover Recipe Contest! Thank you to Carol for contributing this recipe for a fabulous cake, perfect for the seder or for entertaining during the week. The chocolate sponge cake layers sandwich a fluffy chocolate mousse filling, both spiked with a little brandy, and the whole thing is capped with a whipped cream topping, garnished with chocolate curls or shavings. This cake looks great and tastes unbelievable!

Passover Pecan Lace Cookies
Sharon Levitan
Food Editor's Notes: This recipe is one of the winners of the 2007 Passover Recipe Contest! Macaroons are delicious, but don't you sometimes crave a crunchy cookie during the holiday? These will fit the bill perfectly. They are sweet, nutty, thin and delicate looking, and very crispy. I knew immediately when I tasted my first one that I would be baking these frequently, for Passover and throughout the year.

Meringue with Berries and Chocolate
Jamie Stolper
This is a variation of the dairy meringue dessert contributed by my friend Judy Shankman. Instead of filling a meringue shell with strawberries and cream, I fill it with an assorment of berries and drizzle it all with chocolate. It is absolutely spectacular looking and I guarantee it will be gone by the end of the meal. After eating their serving, people will start picking at the platter, unable to leave the tasty leftovers.

Ilene Gilbert's Lemon Meringue Dessert
Norene Gilletz
Food Editor's notes: This is a spectacular dessert for a Passover seder! It basically tastes like a frozen lemon meringue pie, but it looks so elegant when released from its springform pan and placed on a beautiful round platter. No one will expect a dessert like this to end a seder meal, but it really is perfect – sweet and tangy, cool and refreshing, light, and delicious!
