From Eden to Jerusalem: 40 Recipes from the Time of the Bible

Wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and honey are the biblical "Seven Types" that form the basis of the cuisine not only of the Holy Land but of the entire Mediterranean region.
This book presents 40 recipes inspired by the Bible, from the perspective of a Near Eastern archaeologist and kitchen historian, offering insight into the prehistoric and early historical mediterranean diet. Of course, the Bible is not a cookbook, but thanks to archaeological and historical findings we know quite well what was grown, hunted, bred, cooked and eaten where and when, and the Bible itself gives some detailed hints on food culture.
The stories of the Bible cover not only a long period of time, but also a rather large geographical area. Therefore the historical recipes presented here originate not in the Holy Land and the Levant only, but are also from Babylonia, Egypt, Persia, Asia Minor, Greece and Rome.
