The four-course dinner will feature recipes from Goldstein’s “Cucina Ebraica” cookbook. Dishes include “Crispy Fried Artichokes — Jewish-style’,” “Passover Soup with Chicken Dumplings and Eggs” and “Sea Bass with Rhubarb Sauce.”

Price is $49 per person. Space is limited. For reservations, call (415) 955-0663.

Dishes will include guacamole and chips (but of course), tequila-cured salmon and beef brisket adobo.

Tickets are $60 per person.

It’s enough to make you forget about corned beef and cabbage, right?

At Oryza Bistro Asiana in the Westfield Valley Fair shopping center in Santa Clara, they’re going green.

The restaurant’s signature Thai-fried chicken will be served over green waffles ($16), which get their hue from pandan leaves. To complete the dish, there’s fried basil (more green) and even green curry sauce.
