God’s Cookbook : Tracing the culinary traditions of the Levant
Author(s): Jamie d’Antioc
A fascinating mixture of history, religion and recipes, God’s Cookbook 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. Awards: World's Best Cookbook - 2009 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.
Review(s):
"Everyone who reads 'God's Cook Book' feels happier, and looks towards the past and the future in a new positive way. It is an achievement in publishing for the quality of the text and the unbelievable iconography. It is very ambitious in scope, and delivers more than ever expected." -- EDOUARD COINTREAU President of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards
"This book is a piece of art! Between its absolutely gorgeous, yet simple design from cover to cover, elegant illustrations, and excellent use of typography and white space, it is a model cookbook. Not to be overlooked, of course, are the recipes themselves, clearly printed and organized alongside visual embellishments and snippets of history, biblical tradition, health benefits and quotes from the Old and New Testaments and the Quran, as well as other muslim texts." -- WRITER'S DIGEST BOOK COMPETITION 2010
