Alison Roman Hosts Passover Dinner | NYT Cooking 

Huge fan of these long form full meal Alison Roman vids

The prep drama adds to the homely feel. All we needed was an uncle stopping by, stirring up trouble.

Rewatching this for the 4598s time in anticipation of spring celebrations to come

Alison Roman never ceases to amaze me. She is showing novices and professionals alike this nuanced simplicity in her recipes that invite anyone to try new methods of cooking, or even completely new foods in general. All of her recipes I try turn out perfect on the first try, and I swear she's a goddess in the kitchen. I don't know how she does it every time, but I want her to keep doing her thing, forever.

“... To look forward to” is so true - years ago, while convalescing during a long recovery from a big surgery, I thought willfully about the different meals I was going to have after returning to health, and eventually I did, although it took 2-3 years. W/ the situation today, some people will not make it to have certain meals again; nonetheless, it is necessary for the will to survive.... So BRAVA !!!

I am _beyond_ thrilled to learn that Alison Roman's sheet pans look just as gnarls crusty as mine! Excuse me as I slip into the kitchen and discard my steel wool scrubber thingy.

"That is literally a bugs bunny carrot! ... I dont like it." *gets rid of offending cartoon carrot* ❤ 🤣🤣🤣

The content alone is so appreciated even if we can’t make an elaborate meal like this right now. Thank you!

This is exactly what I needed today, her personality is so light and breezy

The butcher scene is giving me such Mrs. Maisel vibes and I live

i have never seen someone so happy while grating potatoes like Alison Roman LOL love her

I would watch Alison Roman cook all day, quarantine or not.

I love her honesty! "I burned it" lmao. This makes me want to watch her even more lol

please create another long duration video like this with her, i love her vibe and her kitchen looks so comfortable🤧

chopped liver is a quintessential passover recipe and i strongly urge any non-believers to try it at least once. it has so many carmelized onions or shallots that get so sweet, so jammy, and the fattiness of the liver.. like truly SO delicious and creamy.

To quote chef John "bone side up... how is that not a name for a rock band "

There is joy just watching Alison for whole 27 minutes! Keep these content coming please! ❤️

This was so enjoyable - looking forward to the future when we can all get together an celebrate! Thanks to the whole production team for making such a quality program and Alison for sharing.

I’ve made that caramelized shallot pasta at least eight times, finally you feel our pain

I was so anxious the whole time she was going absolutely ham not he box grater

I'm living for Alison cooking everything in chicken fat

I want to thank you for your recipes. The matzo ball soup was absolutely the BEST one I've ever made. I never added chives to the matzo meal and that made all the difference. Next year when the party is ON I'm going to really go all out on all of your recipes. I made the parsley salad...OMG...game changer for those of us that love parsley. So thanks!!!

I had a mini stroke when Alison was talking desert and the camera cut to a whole raw chicken

We’ve watched this 3 times so far because it’s fun, instructive, and in these stressful times comforting. This will be my first Seder. Bless you and keep safe and healthy.

Representing the Jews. Love this so much. Everything looked so delicious and modern. Would love to throw a version of this someday when we're not all quarantined. Happy Passover, y'all.

It’s like another world that I hardly recognize. Definitely needed this today.

I started buying that brand of eggs exclusively for the "Bird of the Month" what a joy

I just love her essence. It’s refreshing and delightful.

if i could only explain the way i CACKLED when sis pointed out the bugs bunny carrot and said she didn't like it. whew chile 😂🙅🏻‍♀️🥕 🐰

I love when she said "these people are so lucky" LOL

Can we all please just talk about how amazing this woman is?? Like she is confident, funny, comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Watching her work her way through that tub of schmaltz was sooooo satisfying

There's something so enjoyable and relaxing about watching Alison cook a complete meal like this! She makes it look like so much fun and....actually doable! Love her videos!

I’m also half Jewish through my father but it looks like you were taught more of the traditions than I was. I’m now teaching myself. Great vlog!

my zeyde always wears swimming goggles when he chops onions, its a wholeeee vibe would recommend

alison roman is a queen and one of the most refreshing voices in food media today. i love her ❤️

The onion thing was on another channel recently, and a scientist mentioned that chilling/freezing the shallot or onion keeps the sulpher/chemical from aeresolizing and becoming gasseous as easily. so...chill your onions/shallots and it will lower the amount of tears.

Allison, I love watching you make full meals in your kitchen!! More please!

Every single year when I make my potato kugel, I go through the exact same trials and tribulations with the box grater 😂

My husband and I are making most of these even tho there is only 2 of us and the rest of the year I’m vegan. We love you 😍

Perfect timing really! Let's all hope this passes over soon.

Best way to prevent the onion getting to you is by rubbing a lemon on the blade before you cut it. I have no idea why but it’s works every time for me.

Amazing cook! Not just this video, but all videos from Alison Roman

Just put a wet paper towel next to your cutting board when chopping onions. The fumes are looking for the closest water source. If there's something closer than your eyes, it won't bother you at all. Love your videos!

This is the first NYT / Alison Roman cooking video I have seen, but it will not be the last. She managed to elevate party prep from drudgery to entertainment. Beautifully done, Alison! Thanks for the needed distraction.

Yes!!! Love Alison and her thanksgiving episode. This is just like it!

Hi Alison, I’ve made your Matzoh Ball Soup 3x and it’s out of this world! I make it just as you teach in your video. No big softballs for me, only golf balls! (I’ve never golfed either!) I’m a 56 year old Catholic guy and was never really exposed to MBS. Nor the true customs, meanings and traditions of any of the Jewish holidays. That is until, I met and fell in love with my girls. I was adopted by two little old Jewish ladies named Elsa and Helen. They were neighbors that lived across from each other in a typical SoFla cul-de-sac retirement community. They were both widows and tough cookies. They had very little to no close family living around them here in SoFla. So without trying, I kinda fell into that roll of being their advocate or adopted grandson as Elsa would refer to me. I’m a sucker when it comes to helping the older ladies. I’m disabled due to a injured neck, back and coccyx. My wife always knew if I wasn’t home I was somehow involved with my other ladies. She was very understanding. Over the years I knew more about them and their lives than their own children and families. They were the grandmothers I never had. It all started out innocently by helping to carry their groceries from their car into their house. That progressed somehow through the years to being by their bedside holding their hands as they slipped away. I learned so much from these wise firecrackers. They were both 96 when they passed. My Elsala in 2012 and dear Helen in 2019. I miss them both terribly. After Elsa passed, Helen seemed to step right into Elsa’s place in my life. In total I think I shared about 7 years with Elsa and then another 7 years with Helen. Those 14 years in many ways were therapeutic to me dealing with my own recent disabilities. I wish I had come across you and your videos when they were alive. Elsa was fascinated by the internet, my phone and Facebook. She liked to snoop, just like me! I would have loved to have made your wonderful MBS and latkes for them. They would have been over the moon that their gentile “grandson” was making their prized dish! I could go on and on writing my adventures with them and maybe one day I will. Alison, Elsa prepared a breakfast dish made with eggs, onions and chopped up lox. I think that was it? She’d always make sure she bought fresh croissant from the French Bakery as an accompaniment. She said that’s the way “mama” taught her. She’d make mine without the lox because she knew they’re not my favorite. Do you have a version of this recipe? Does it have a special name? As for Helen, her favorite breakfast was matzo brei. Do you have a recipe for this? I’d love to watch you make these two dishes. I wish I could surprise my ladies with them. Thank you Alison for all the great content then and now. I really enjoy your video that you and David produce. Mazel Tov for the new apartment and kitchen where more magic is destined to happen. Cheers, John

A. Thank you NYT for giving us fresh new Alison Roman content. You always know what we need 🙏 B. I'm not Jewish but now I'm looking forward to making a Passover meal once quarantine is over xD C. I'm part of the small percentage of people who love chicken liver and I deeply appreciate this homemade pâté.

The magic u do in your small kitchen is amazing! Love that you're showing people that it's possible to bring big group of people together with a small kitchen 😁🥰

I love when Alison takes us to the store just like Ina does I’m Barefoot Contessa

Got to applaud your candour and honesty not many chef admit to burning food they are cooking online. u are the first i have seen who is natural, open and genuine it adds to your many qualities.

I LOVE Alison Roman!!! She displays really excellent cooking techniques. I'm from the South (Not Southern!!!) , but those short ribs look like they would rival my grandmother's. I loved her Hanukkah dinner as well.

Happy Passover 2023 really enjoyed the video three years ago

Alison. You are such an inspiration. Being a Brooklyn girl trying to cook in a small space, I feel you but we make due! You’re videos are so informative and funny and warm. Thank you.

OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS CONTENT! It so helps to have normal content at a time like this. You are appreciated, Alison!

I know internet culture had tried to cancel Alison, but @NYT Cooking, pleaseee bring back videos with Alison! We miss ;(

So much to comment on, but I love making matzo ball soup and getting some tips on doing things a bit differently (alot differently) gives me a fun recipe to look forward to among all the other dishes. this video has a crazy amount of depth and layers. Alot to dig in to for people whenever they pull it back up to make that dish that caught their eye. Only wish I had everything on hand to make something here right now. Ah well.

Right after the king Christmas video, which is my new favorite cooking show EVER, this is my new second favorite cooking show ever. God I love Alison cooking so much! More please!!

I just put the short ribs in the oven. Oh my!!!! They smell so good! We are doing the whole menu tomorrow with our kids. Can't wait.

YAY!! These are my favorite videos🥰 I love Alison Roman- great way to spend quarantine!

During this challenging time, loved seeing and feeling a lovely gathering of friends and wonderful food! Thanks for sharing.

This one is sooooo cosy. I love this episode so much. The chopped liver and all the lovely bits. I learned a lot! Thanks Alison

I could honestly watch this forever. Quite the tear jerker. And that gd small door. Even my phone spells it out by now.

Alison, thank you so much for all your videos. I love your recipes and your unique personality. It’s what keeps me coming back to your videos. Please stay safe and healthy! 😊

Watching Alison Roman cook makes me so happy. ❤

u r such a joy to watch and ur friends are adorable

I need those mixing bowls in my life

Glad to see the video is back up! It was privatized for some reason while I was watching it yesterday.

Your books are my sanity during this time. Your play on pork and beans recipe has me and bf shooketh. Actually I find that particular recipe I attempted was not only new territory and easy (thought I would mess it up) but appropriate for the time right now. Easy, affordable, obtainable, of your childhood...

I love watching this in quarantine! Thank you Alison and NYT Cooking! Making shallot pasta as we speak. Cooked it so many times past few weeks.

I feel like the thanksgiving video scarred Alison enough that she'll never do the bulk of her cooking in real time on the day of ever again

This is so comforting and homely which is so perfect for all of us right now 🥰🏠

ok, who needs another Alison feast video? I know it's a pandemic and I want people to be safe (wash your hands, wear a mask please, spread love, but not germs), so if it is safe to do so, please make another one of these videos. Christmas?

I no longer have to be ashamed of my sheet pans. Thank you!

Just ran across this today, but it gave me lovely ideas for next year's Seder. Chag Pesach Sameach! Yasher Koach, Alison! ❤️

" A lil Applebee's flare up in there." --- DYING, I say. DYING. LOL

I’ve made alisons potato kugel and can we just 😭❤️

And in every home-grated potato kugel there is a faint pink tint of blooddrops from the maker. This is tradition unless you use a cooking machine. I love your nonchalant but still sophisticated style of cooking. During my home office pauses I follow your show to get inspiration for dinner. Greetings from Germany.

Loved this episode. Love seeing AR so real and happy the editors didn’t cut out the eyes burning parts

Just simply love her! I can relate to her kitchen size. I love her productivity!!!! I shouldn't complain about my kitchen, I thought.

I love chopped liver with horseradish cream cheese on matzoh. It’s really healthy.

It’s so perfectly imperfect it makes it accessible. Ty!

danggggggg the grader pain is so real

Wow I loved that video. Learned a lot.

Take a sip of wine everytime she says "chicken fat"! Cheers! Lol

Wow Alison ! dark hair really suits you, love it and amazing vid ty :D

Alison I love ya! I schlept to three publix markets near me here in SoFla and finally found my rendered chicken fat. Lordie lordie I miss NY!!!! Made my matzo balls and they were a hit! Thank you. My family and I truly enjoyed them. I’m thinking I want to make another batch because they were eaten so fast. Yummy yummy! I added some of the pulled chicken that I poached to make the chicken stock. It was delish! My next adventure will be to make those lovely short ribs and the potato koogle. Wish me luck! Thanks for making this wonderful instalment. I throughly enjoyed it and it’s a keeper in my library. All the best to you. Happy Belated Passover! .....John

Honestly she is so funny and entertaining to watch

.. i love you Alison Roman.. loving the hair and glasses look..

Alison.... that was a very sweet introduction. I just love watching you cook. It gives me lots of ideas.

Ugh. Alison Roman is so perfect.

NYT Cooking Team & Alison you guys are doing an incredible job with all the video content. Thank you for producing these shows. Super love this.

No question that the seltzer makes a difference. Right on!

Just discovered this channel and this video as it is Passover right now and I was looking for some interesting new ideas. I am so impressed by how enjoyable it is to watch Alison cook and explain all; also going shopping with her is fun. I am most inspired by and admire her self-confidence. Subscribing!

I just love you Alison!❤

I am insanely sensitive to onions and gotta tell you that swimming goggles work! They literally became a kitchen accessory for me.

I love the part where the microphone battery died cause it’s feel like I’m in the kitchen with alison

When I was 6 I desperately wanted to convert to Judaism even though my entire family is full of Christians, both devout and non-practicing, and my mother (relatively open-minded and non-practicing) said it was insane. I can see how crazy that sounded.... but I still currently want to convert to Judaism.

Looking amazing one of my favorite meals. I’m not Jewish but love it! I’m definitely trying the recipe for matzo balls.

Alison, I loved this episode! You're a warm and gracious hostess. Thank you........
