Nathan, Joan (author.). Herman, Gabriela, (photographer (expression)).

Summary: Driven by a passion for discovery, the biblical King Solomon is said to have sent emissaries on land and sea to all corners of the ancient world, initiating a mass cross-pollination of culinary cultures that continues to bear fruit today. Nathan gathers together recipes from Israel to Italy to India and beyond. Some are classics, others are contemporary riffs on traditional dishes. Filled with fascinating historical details, personal histories, and delectable recipes, this book showcases the dazzling diversity of a culinary tradition more than three thousand years old.
