Each year, early spring is a busy time at the Clover kitchen because we have 2 of our tastiest boxes, usually back-to-back. For the Passover box, a lot of care goes into the kashering of the kitchen, with Rabbi Dolinger coming in to ensure the box is totally Kosher for Passover via Lighthouse Kosher.
And of course we fill them with the best produce we can find—including sweet spring-dug parsnips with a ham-inspired glaze in the Easter box.
Oh! And this year, due to popular request, we’ve added a new Seder Plate add-on so Passover celebrants can plan your whole feast without any need for a grocery run. The charoset is a riff on Chef Phil’s dad’s version!
Check out the menu highlights below and click through to place your order. For Passover, we have 2 distribution dates: Tuesday, April 4 and Wednesday, April 5. For Easter, we’ve got a single distribution on Saturday April 8. Remember: Your orders are due by 5PM 2 days before the date it arrives on your doorstep—so grab what you want by 5PM on April 2, April 3, and April 6, respectively.

EASTER MENU HIGHLIGHTS:
DIPPING EGGS WITH FIXIN’S
You’ll get a loaf of sourdough bread, light and airy and perfect for cutting into “soldiers;” soft-boiled eggs; pesto made with late winter greens and sunflower seeds; Chris’s magic garlic and herb compound butter; and roasted tomatoes. Great for a post egg hunt breakfast – or break it up and use it for breakfasts all week long.
A DUTCH BABY AKA GIANT FLUFFY PANCAKE
I can’t tell you how much fun it is to make this Dutch Baby. Think of it as a giant popover, fluffy, eggy, tender, and buttery. We’ll give you already-mixed batter; you’ll sizzle butter in a skillet, then pour the batter and watch it PUFF UP! We’ll give you pecorino-and-herb cream sauce and Rhode Island mushrooms to spoon into the “crater.” If you’re freaked out by the name, ease your mind with this article from our friends at ATK.
HAM-GLAZED PARSNIPS FROM WINTER MOON ROOTS
When we were crafting this box back in 2021, I asked Chris if he could riff on ham, because that’s such a classic part of Easter Sunday. He came back with these beautiful “ham-glazed” parsnips. You’ll get already-roasted parsnips (spring-dug = extra sweet). You’ll heat them, then drizzle Chris’s “ham glaze” over the top and carve them at the table.
Plus a spring greens frittata, confit radishes and carrots, warm Italian lentils, French onion soup with cheesy croutons, farro salad, and tons of desserts!
