For these Maple Glazed Rack of Ribs apply a simple spice rub to the beef ribs, coat them with a glaze, and then roast them in a low oven overnight.

You know those meals and dishes that only come out for the holidays? The ones you wish you could eat all year long? That’s the idea behind Naomi Nachman’s debut cookbook, "Perfect for Pesach: Passover Recipes You’ll Want to Make All Year." While the recipes in it are focused on Passover, as the title says, they can be served and enjoyed all year long.

Published this month by Artscroll, "Perfect for Pesach" features more than 125 recipes, all kosher for Passover, from appetizers to dessert. It also has variations on many of the recipes, relaxing some of the kosher restrictions for preparation year-round. The author makes a point of working with ingredients that are easily found in local supermarkets and stores.

This may be her first cookbook, but Australian-born Ms. Nachman is well known as the Aussie Gourmet, a kosher personal chef; she also writes for a variety of publications and hosts a weekly radio show. She currently lives with her husband and children in upstate New York. The photographs for the book are by Miriam Pascal, a cookbook author and kosher food blogger.

The recipe we’re hoping to try soon is the one you see in the photo above, Maple Glazed Rack of Ribs. You apply a simple spice rub to the beef ribs, coat them with a glaze and then roast them in a low oven overnight. We can only imagine how heavenly the house smells as they cook. Here’s the recipe, courtesy of the author.

Maple Glazed Rack of Ribs

1 4- to 5-pound rack of beef ribs
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
