From Eden to Jerusalem: 40 Recipes from the Time of the Bible - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In this richly illustrated biblical cookbook, archaeologist and culinary historian Ursula Janssen presents 40 recipes from the places and time of the Bible, offering insight into the prehistoric and early historical mediterranean diet. Wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and honey are the biblical "Seven Types" that form the basis of the cuisine not only of the Holy Land but of the entire mediterranean region. Of course, the Bible is not a cookbook, but thanks to archaeological and historical findings we know quite well what was grown, hunted, bred, cooked and where and when eaten. In fact, the Bible itself gives some detailed hints on food culture. The stories of the Bible cover not only a long period of time, but also a rather large geographical area. Therefore the historical recipes presented here originate not in the Holy Land only, but are also from Babylonia, Egypt, Persia, Asia Minor, Greece and Rome.
