I'm doing pesach for the first time and I'm clueless! Which oil can I use for both baking cakes, cookies and desserts as well as for kugels, meats and all my cooking? Tia

Extra light olive oil (NOT extra virgin)

walnut oil is great for baking or cottonseed - fine for both baking & cooking depending on if anybody is allergic to either
personally I tend to cook with extra virgin olive oil

I second walnut oil.
Since cotton is not a food crop, it is sprayed with far more pesticides, which can make their way into cottonseed oil.
And EVOO can add its own taste.

Yes, that's what I use on pesach for my yummy cakes. I don't like the alternatives available. It's a mild tasting oil, no taste comes through in the baked goods. We like it.

I love walnut for baking bec the cakes stay very moist but I found it burns very quickly during frying

I second the extra light olive oil recommendation.
It doesn't affect the taste like extra virgin does.

I don't bake much, so I don't know if it would work, but what about coconut oil.

Safflower oil is great for both cooking and baking.

Another vote for extra light olive oil. Doesn't give its taste to things and a healthy choice, not as good for you as extra virgin but ev has a much stronger taste.
Coconut is great but has a taste and very limited kosher for pesach selection.

Safflower or grapeseed - they're similar to canola in their general flavorlessness and versatility. I don't like that the light olive oil is really processed, and cottonseed is pretty blechy in general. Coconut is good for baking but I don't like it so much for cooking. Walnut would be yum for baking, less so for cooking I think.
I usually get some safflower, some extra virgin olive, and some coconut.

Maybe this will help. My ideal is 2 use 3 kinds of oil as follows:
Hazelnut oil -- for baking, sweet kugels and anything else sweet (including more strongly flavored ice creams like chocolate or coffee, but I wouldn't use it for vanilla)
Safflower oil -- any frying, general cooking needing neutral oil
Extra light olive oil -- salads, sauteing vegetables
That is what I've used until now, but now a granddaughter has tree nut allergies so I won't be using as much Hazelnut oil.

I have hazelnut oil for baking, and evvo for cooking and kugels. I limit the hazelnut oil for allergy reasons.
