Preview Sephardi: Cooking the History. Recipes of the Jews of Spain and the Diaspora, from the 13th Century Onwards

Description:
This is no ordinary cookbook. It is a cookbook steeped in the history of the Sephardic Jews, culled from such diverse sources as medieval cookbooks, Inquisition trials, medical treatises, and poems. The recipes it contains follow the history of the Jews of Spain and the Sephardic Diaspora. A culinary story is unearthed thanks to detailed analysis of real sources from the thirteenth century onwards. Whether written in Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, Occitan, Italian, or Hebrew, the recipes bear witness to the culinary richness of the Sephardim, conversos, who were able to transport and bring their cuisines to life wherever they went. Spain, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico are all countries where the culinary culture of the Sephardim lives on. Each bite transports us to the most deeply moving and intriguing aspects of the history of the Jews. Eating is to re-remember.
