First Project to Preserve Dead Sea Scrolls Begun Gourmet Sponge Cake THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

JERUSALEM (JTA) - The
problem of preserving the Dead
Sea Scrolls is the subject of a
basic research project - the first
of its kind anywhere - that is

currently engaging Israeli scien-
tists at the behest of the Israel
Museum.
They are trying to determine
why such factors as variations in
temperature, light intensity or
humidity, as well as fungi and
bacteria, cause damage to the
ancient parchments.
They also are studying why one
set of scrolls - the Manual of
Discipline and the Book of Psalms
- remain in good condition while
the Isaiah Scroll has proven sen-
sitive to light.

Treat for Passover

To get away from the usual run
of Passover sponge cakes, try a
gourmet version, as conceived by
Bruno Comin, pastry chef of the
Four Seasons Restaurant in New
York. Comin flavors his sponge
cake with Sabra, an Israeli liqueur
made of Jaffa oranges with a
subtle taste of chocolate.
Sabra also adds zest to an easy-
to-prepare but distinctive dessert.

Passover is a beautiful holiday!
Its origin is in ancient times and
yet-so contemporary. "Freedom"
is its main theme, and the cry of
"let my people go" is as applicable
today as it was then. We remem-

2 big onions
3 tbls. oil or
chicken fat

2 hard boiled
eggs

1. Broil the chicken livers under hot
broiler for about seven minutes on
each side. There should be no trace
of blood.
2. Chop the onions and brown them in
the oil or chicken fat. The onions
should be golden brown, so don't al-
low them to get too brown, because
they will then turn bitter.
3. Grind the livers, onions and eggs in
a meat grinder. Add salt and pepper.
If you want a very smooth texture-•-
use your blender, or grind twice in
the meat grinder. If you like a coarse
texture, where the eggs, onions and
liver are identifiable-chop with a
knife on a breadboard.
4. To serve-arrange nicely on a green
lettuce leaf, or fill half of a tomato.

10 parsely sprigs

1. Clean and cut the chicken into four
parts. Put together with all the veg-
etables and water in a big soup pot.
Add salt.
2. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. The
soup should boil on low heat for
about 21/2 hours.
3. When the chicken is tender and the
soup ready-strain the soup into a
clean dish, so you will have a clear
soup. The cooked chicken can be
served at a meal the day after the
seder, hot or cold.
4. At the seder-serve the soup hot,
accompanied with kneidlakh.

Airy Kneidlakh
3 eggs
1/2 cup chicken soup
1 cup matzo meal 3 tbls. chicken fat

frigerator for two hours. During that
time the mixture will set and become
manageable after liquids are absorb-
ed.
2. Bring a big pot of salted water to a
boil. Moisten your hands with water
and make small balls, one inch in
diameter. Drop into the boiling water
and cook for about 30 minutes.
Drain. Serve in very hot soup. You
may reheat the kneidlakh in the soup
if you prepare both ahead of time.

sionally to see if there is a simmer
and if there are enough liquids.

Potato Kugel
2 pounds potatoes 1/a tsp. pepper
1 medium onion
2 eggs
1 big carrot
3 this. oil or
1/4 cup matzo meal
chicken fat
1 tsp. salt
1. Peel the vegetables. Cut them into
small pieces and grind in a meat
grinder. You can also grate them, but
then you don't have to cut them in
small pieces.
2. Add to the ground or grated veget-
ables the eggs, matzo meal, salt, pep-
per and fat. Mix well.
3. Grease well a 9x5x2 baking dish. Put

done when it is nicely browned and
its edges look crisp.
4. Prepare this dish as it will be ready
before serving. If you prepare it some
hours in advance-keep „c in a very
slow oven.

Sweet and Sour Celery
2 bunches celery
2 tsp. sugar
2 cups water
1/2 mashed garlic
2 tsp. salt
clove
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tbls. salad oil
1. Clean the celery and use only the
stalks. Cut them diagonally into
1-inch pieces.
2. Boil the water in a pot and drop the
celery in it. Cook for 10 minutes. The
celery should be tender, and yet hold
its shape and some of its crispiness.
3. Combine the salt, sugar, lemon juice,
salad oil and garlic. Stir or shake
well. Drain the celery and pour the
dressing on it. Toss and leave the
celery in the marinade till serving
time. You may serve it hot or cold.

Glazed Beets
2 pounds small
starch
beets
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup parve
1/2 cup lemon juice
margarine
V3 cup sugar
1 tbls. potato
1. Peel beets and cook in water till
tender-about 30 minutes. Drain and
save the liquid. You can use some of
it for preparing borsht.
2. Slice the beets.
3. In a saucepan, combine potato starch,
sugar and salt, add 1/2 cup of the beet
liquids and stir well. Heat and stir
till the mixture is thick. Add mar-
garine and lemon juice.
4. Add the sliced beets and heat, stir-
ring till the beets are covered with
the sauce and completely heated.

1 cup sugar
7 oz. pkg. shredded 1 tbls. lemon juice
coconut

Heat oven to 400°F.
1. One hour before preparing the maca-
roons-take the eggs out from the
refrigerator. The whites will be easier
to beat.
2. In a clean bowl, start beating the
whites. Beat until they start to hold
their shape. Add the sugar, 2 table-
spoons at a time, and beat 2 minutes
after each addition. When all the
sugar is incorporated, beat another 5
minutes. All sugar should be com-
pletely dissolved.
3. Add the coconut by tossing a part of
it and then sprinkling it on the top
of the maringue, and then fold gently
into it. Repeat till all the coconut is
mixed with the maringue.
4 . Line a cookie sheet with plain brown
paper. With a spoon, or through a
pastry bag, form little mounds on the
lined cookie sheet.. Bake for 10-12
minutes, till the macaroons are of
ivory color. Take out of the oven and
cool. Separate them gently from the
paper (you may use a spatula). Cool
them on a rack, so the air also will
dry them from underneath.
