Riassunto

A fascinating mixture of history, religion and recipes, God's Cook Book explores the spiritual traditions of the ancient Levant and how they influenced culinary development. It offers a unique insight into the holy books of the three Abrahamic faiths, (Christianity, Judaism and Islam), and their prescriptions for human nutrition, as well as practical guides allowing the modern-day cook to recreate classical dishes. Complemented by illustrations drawn from the rich archives of the Arcadian Group, this book offers a tantalizing passage into antiquity. This book does not aim to preach or dwell on the differences among the three faiths, but to celebrate similarities and shared spiritual roots. It is intended as an appreciation of the oneness of the three Abrahamic faiths through the medium of the most universal preoccupation since the dawn of time: food. At the same time, this book is difficult to categorize, encompassing not only cooking, but also art, religion and philosophy.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Jamie d'Antioc, an engineer by training, has previously served as chairman of several major financial institutions. His professional positions required him to eat in some of the world's best restaurants, but he was always drawn back to the food that his 108-year-old grandmother prepared. It was her ideas about cuisine and its links to spirituality and longevity that inspired this book.
