Food is central to daily religious practice and holiday
celebrations the world over. For instance, Orthodox Jews keep
kosher, Muslims feast after fasting during the holy month of
Ramadan, and Hindus leave food offerings in the temple for the
dieties. For many, food is seen as nourishment for the body and
soul. This cookbook illuminates the food practices of followers of
the world's major religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam,
Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Shintoism. The narrative and
nearly 300 recipes give a flavor of what is often eaten for sacred
occasions and why. This volume will be useful for a range of cooks
and purposes. It is targeted to middle school age to adults. Those
looking for more and different recipes for religion class
assignments and International Week Food Festival or even for
browsing will be richly rewarded with a one-stop resource. Each
chapter covers a religion or two with similar food practices. A
brief overview of the religion is followed by a discussion of any
dietary restrictions. Then the recipes are organized by holiday or
special occasion, featuring from appetizers to desserts. Recipes
are culled from a variety of countries and cultures where the
religion is practiced. The recipes are contextualized and have
clear instructions for the novice cook. A final section in some
chapters allows readers to recreate what the religion's founder or
major figures might have eaten during their lifetime. A glossary
defines what might be unfamiliar cooking terms and food and kitchen
items. An introduction, list of recipes, conversion measurements,
bibliography, index, and illustrations round out the cookbook.
