In this collection of over 800 glorious recipes interwoven with stories, reminiscences and history, Claudia Roden traces the fascinating development of Jewish cooking over the centuries. The recipes – many of them never before documented – are the treasures garnered by the author during almost fifteen years of travelling around the world.

Beginning with a loving recollection of her childhood in Egypt, Claudia Roden takes us on a journey through the Jewish world, from the inventive cooking of Ashkenazi Jews in Russia, Poland, Germany, England, France and America to the sensuous and colourful food of the Sephardim throughout the Orient, in Syria and Morocco, India and China, Greece and Israel.
