A Biblical Feast: Ancient Mediterranean Flavors for Today's Table

Kitty Morse gives us a fascinating look at what people of the Bible ate. Many of these foods are the staples of modern Mediterranean cuisine - almonds, figs, olives, honey, lentils, and garlic. Kitty's easy-to-prepare recipes are delicious as well as nourishing and her well-researched notes give us insight into history. The photographs are stunning and will make you want to get into the kitchen. I highly recommend this book! It's a staple in my kitchen, as is Kitty's recipe for Ezekiel's bread.
