Passover

Just in time for Pesach…

Passover can be a tough holiday to cook for, so I am offering my services on desserts, kugels, soups and more. Whether you are preparing the entire Seder yourself or bringing a dish for a potluck, Lauren Asarnow is at your service. Skip the line at Gelson’s and get your home-made Kosher for Passover goods hand delivered the day prior to Pesach complete with perfect reheating suggestions. All ingredients are fresh and everything is made from scratch in small batches using no preservatives or chemical additives.

Please peruse the attached menu and feel free to contact me with any questions. Dessert Gift baskets are also available upon request.

All orders must be submitted via phone or email by Wednesday April 15th at 8pm. All deliveries will take place on Friday April 18th. Deliveries outside of a 10 mile radius of Brentwood will incur an additional delivery charge ($15). As evidence to my appreciation for this opportunity I would like to offer a 5% discount off my standard menu pricing.

Thank you kindly and Hag Sameach,

Lauren Asarnow
