Olive Trees and Honey: A Treasury of Vegetarian Recipes from Jewish Communities Around the World

"A land of wheat and barley, and grape vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey . . . you shall eat and be satisfied."
--Deut. 8:8-10

A Celebration of classic Jewish vegetarian cooking from Around the World

Traditions of Jewish vegetarian cooking span three millennia and the extraordinary geographical breadth of the Jewish diaspora--from Persia to Ethiopia, Romania to France. Acclaimed Judaic cooking expert, chef, and rabbi Gil Marks uncovers this vibrant culinary heritage for home cooks. Olive Trees and Honey is a magnificent treasury shedding light on the truly international palette of Jewish vegetarian cooking, with 300 recipes for soups, salads, grains, pastas, legumes, vegetable stews, egg dishes, savory pastries, and more.

From Sephardic Bean Stew (Hamin) to Ashkenazic Mushroom Knishes, Italian Fried Artichokes to Hungarian Asparagus Soup, these dishes are suitable for any occasion on the Jewish calendar--festival and everyday meal alike. Marks?s insights into the origins and evolution of the recipes, suggestions for holiday menus from Yom Kippur to Passover, and culture-rich discussion of key ingredients enhance this enchanting portrait of the Jewish diaspora?s global legacy of vegetarian cooking. more

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-25-2006; Good cookbook for unusual kosher dishes; What I like most about this cookbook was that not a single recipe could be described as typical Jewish cuisine. It's a great book for kosher cooks who are tired of making the same old thing. The recipes are all vegetarian and are...; read full review | report as inappropriate
