JOAN NATHAN'S MATZO BALL SOUP
For children (and arguably most adults), the most welcome Passover dish is chicken soup with matzo balls. My matzo balls, neither heavy as lead nor light as a feather, are al dente, infused with fresh ginger and nutmeg. I like to freeze them, and the soup, in advance.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, schmaltz, stock, matzo meal, nutmeg, ginger and parsley. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Gently mix with a whisk or spoon. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours or overnight.
- To shape and cook the matzo balls, fill a wide, deep pan with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. With wet hands, take some of the mix and mold it into the size and shape of a Ping-Pong ball. Gently drop it into the boiling water, repeating until all the mix is used.
- Cover the pan, reduce heat to a lively simmer and cook matzo balls about 30 to 40 minutes for al dente, longer for light. If desired, the cooked matzo balls can be transferred to chicken or vegetable soup and served immediately. Alternatively, they may be placed on a baking sheet and frozen, then transferred to a freezer bag and kept frozen until a few hours before serving; reheat in chicken or vegetable soup or broth.

GOOSE-MATZO BALLS WITH DRIED GINGER AND PARSLEY
This recipe came to The Times in a 2012 magazine article by David Sax about the goose-matzo-ball soup he discovered at Fülemüle, a tiny restaurant in Budapest which serves Hungarian-style Jewish dishes. The recipe, created by then chef András Singer, calls for goose schmaltz in place of chicken, hand-crushed matzo instead of preground matzo meal and a bit of dried ginger to cut through the richness. The combination yields what Mr. Sax called "the greatest matzo ball on earth."

Steps:
- Lightly char onion halves and shallot on open flame.
- In a large pot on high, add star anise, cloves, coriander seeds, cardamom, and cinnamon. When the spices are brown and fragrant, take them off the heat and place them into a tea ball strainer.
- In the same pot on high, add chicken wings, water, and salt. Boil, then add chicken thighs, tea ball strainer with spices, charred onion, charred scallion, and ginger slices. Boil together, then lower heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. Remove any impurities, whole items, or foam that rises to the top.
- After 30 minutes, remove and cool chicken thighs and reserve and cool 3 tbsp of stock. Allow the remaining stock to simmer for 1.5 more hours.
- In a large bowl, beat 3 eggs until no streaks remain. Then add vegetable oil, chopped basil and sawtooth, cooled 3 tbsp of Pho stock (that you reserved), 1 tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp of sugar. Whisk together, then add in Matzo meal. Combine and let batter rest for 40 minutes.
- After 40 min, remove batter and roll into 8-10 Matzo balls.
- Once the chicken thighs are cooled, take them out and shred them.
- After 2 hours, remove and discard all solids from the stock. Add matzo balls and green onion heads. Let the mixture simmer together for 40 minutes. At this point, season stock with 2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder, and 2 tsp fish sauce. Remove from heat.
