Food and cooking are at the heart of Jewish life. During their
2,000 years of exile, Jews migrated across the world taking their
culinary heritage and traditions with them. Wherever they settled,
they adapted the dishes of their country of residence to fit their
own dietary customs and laws, and as a result, Jewish food today
embraces a vast variety of cuisines and cooking styles. Acclaimed
food writer Paola Gavin takes the reader on a culinary journey
through more than twenty countries from Poland to Morocco
uncovering a myriad traditional vegetarian dishes that play such an
important part in Jewish cooking. When Jews arrived in the Promised
Land they became farmers and agriculturists, growing wheat, barley,
rye and millet. Their diet was mainly vegetarian - based on bread,
pulses, goat's and sheep's cheese, olives and nuts, vegetables and
herbs, fresh and dried fruit. For the poor, food was made more
palatable by sweetening with honey or syrup made from dates,
pomegranates or carob beans. These are some of the unique tastes
and ingredients that are still associated with modern Jewish
cooking today. Through 150 recipes Paola leads us from North Africa
to Italy, Lithuania, Turkey and beyond, examining the subtle
differences and genesis of the dishes of these regions. With
lavish, colourful food photography and a meticulously researched
narrative, Hazana is a classic in cookbook writing.
