Abstract:

"For more than three millennia, vegetarian cooking has been a central component of the rich fabric of Jewish culinary tradition around the world. Olive Trees and Honey is a tribute to this vital realm of Jewish heritage, showcasing an authentic collection of vegetarian dishes that have graced Jewish tables across the ages from Alsace to Uzbekistan, and are still very much alive today - at holidays, rituals, festivals, and everyday meals alike." "In Olive Trees and Honey, eminent Jewish cooking expert, chef, and Rabbi Gil Marks presents a magnificent treasury of meatless fare suitable for any table: 300 simple, enticing recipes that accentuate signature flavors of time-honored dishes. The classics here - soups, salads, pastas, legumes, vegetable stews, egg dishes, and more - represent every part of the menu from an expansive global palette." "Throughout the book, Marks sheds light on the origins and evolution of cuisines and dishes - and of the communities that created them. There are chapters on suitable recipes for key Jewish holidays and on essential ingredients and seasonings. Maps in each chapter chart the paths of several unique gustatory traditions through history."--BOOK JACKET.
