In this extraordinary cookbook, chef and scholar Helene
Jawhara-Piner combines rich culinary history and Jewish heritage to
serve up over fifty culturally significant recipes. Steeped in the
history of the Sephardic Jews (Jews of Spain) and their diaspora,
these recipes are expertly collected from such diverse sources as
medieval cookbooks, Inquisition trials, medical treatises, poems,
and literature. Original sources ranging from the thirteenth
century onwards and written in Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese,
Occitan, Italian, and Hebrew, are here presented in English
translation, bearing witness to the culinary diversity of the
Sephardim, who brought their cuisine with them and kept it alive
wherever they went. Jawhara-Piner provides enlightening commentary
for each recipe, revealing underlying societal issues from
anti-Semitism to social order. In addition, the author provides
several of her own recipes inspired by her research and academic
studies. Each creation and bite of the dishes herein are guaranteed
to transport the reader to the most deeply moving and intriguing
aspects of Jewish history. Jawhara-Piner reminds us that eating is
a way to commemorate the past.
