The cooking-ahead-and-freezing life may not work for everyone. Maybe you don’t have a ginormous freezer just waiting to be filled with soups, appetizers, roasts, fish, kugels, and desserts. Maybe you’re a last-minute person by nature, or time just got away from you this year. Maybe you prefer to cook on Yom Tov so your food tastes fresher! Whatever the reason, we’re here to help with 35+ winning recipes you can prepare on Yom Tov and serve right away.

 

And because we’d all rather spend time with our families than in the kitchen on Yom Tov, we’ve selected recipes that require just a few minutes of prep time. (Just remember to leave on your stovetop or oven before Yom Tov, or you’ll be really stuck.)

 

For more on the practical halachot of cooking on Yom Tov, watch OU & You.

 

Enjoy, and Chag Sameach!
