Much as she loves the chocolate she cannot quite bring herself to eat anything that represents frogs, rivers of blood, or dead infants. What she can bring herself to do is to read and cook from kosher cookbooks even though she is not herself Jewish. In this vein allow her please to recommend one which has been out many years now but is still available in paperback: ``The Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews,'' by Edda Servi Machlin. Delicious recipes, very different from what one commonly associates with "Jewish" cooking, and a vivid and fond reminiscence of her childhood in Tuscany. A pleasure to read even if one does not cook.

Sadly I've never seen it on their website. Last year my local Bed Bath & Beyond had a new "Plagues" collection... little stuffed critters that have pull-string vibrators in the animals. (locust, lice, frog, etc.) <a href="http://civilwarclipart.com/emporium/passover_children.html" rel="nofollow">Judism.com</a> is selling a bunch of these Passover toys.
