The Secret of Orange Blossoms: Sephardic Cuisine from Morocco

The Secret of Orange Blossoms: Sephardic Cuisine from MoroccoAuthor: Kitty MorseDuring Spain's infamous Inquisition, Jews were forced to flee the country for more welcoming shores. Many of these refugees landed in northern Africa, specifically Morocco, and a unique cuisine was born of the marriage of Spanish, Moorish, and traditional Jewish culinary influences. SCENT OF THE ORANGE BLOSSOMS celebrates this cuisine, presenting the elegant and captivating flavors passed down through generations of Jews in Morocco. The mouthwatering recipes include Fresh Fava Bean Soup with Cilantro for Passover, Chicken Couscous with Orange Blossom Water for Yom Kippur, and Honey Doughnuts for Hannukah. Illuminating the important connection among food, family, and tradition, the recipes are interspersed with letters between mothers and newly married daughters, discussing special events and menu planning.Book DetailsPublisher: Ten Speed PressYear Published: 2001ISBN: 1580082696Book Number: 0917915Binding: HardcoverDust Jacket: YesPages: 188Book ConditionGood.
