Smart Talk: Easter, Passover and desserts with Chef Donna Marie Desfor

What to look for on Smart Talk Thursday, April 2, 2015:

With Easter and Passover coming up later this week, families will gather for dinner and lots of food that traditionally go along with those holidays.

Desserts will be a big part of the feasts too.

Chef Donna Marie Desfor, who hosts the WITF Cooks TV shows, and owner of There’s a Chef in My Kitchen, makes a pre-holiday appearance on Thursday’s Smart Talk to share ideas and recipes.  As always, we’d like to hear from you too.  If you have a recipe to share, call 1-800-729-7532 during the show or describe it in the comments section below.

Chef Desfor will pay special attention to the sweets associated with the holiday.  In fact, she’ll have some ideas for what all the candy in the Easter baskets can be used for.  So think chocolate, jelly beans, marshmallow chicks — anything that is a treat on its own but could be used as an ingredient too.

Whenever we host Chef Desfor before a holiday, we always like to hear about your family traditions so that will be part of the program too.
