Original Toronto Star caption: This scene will be familiar in thousands of Jewish homes tonight as families celebrates the first night of the feast of Passover. It's a week of good eating and no time for weight watchers or budget-conscious housewives to worry. Probably no other group in the world can claim to have such a huge repertoire of good recipes as the Jews. They have adapted dishes from across the world to their dietary laws.
