7. The Jewish Gardening Cookbook: Growing Plants and Cooking for Holidays and Festivals

Woodstock, Vt.: Jewish Lights Publishing, 1998. Near Fine Unread 1998 1st printing Glossy pictorial cover bright, minor shelfwear, lt scuffs, sm chips Pages clean bright white tight Excellent copy 40+ fine botanical illustrations From Booklist: Brown gives basic instructions on growing and preparing foods that have been harvested since ancient times--specifically, those foods used in the celebration of Jewish holidays, festivals, and rituals. He begins with advice on growing and using seven plants that illustrate the fertility of the land of Israel: figs, grapes, wheat, barley, dates, pomegranates, and olives. Quoting biblical and rabbinical sources, Brown suggests serving particular foods on specific holidays--almonds on Tu Bi-Shevat (New Year for trees), zucchini nut bread on Purim, challah bread on Shavuot, apple-raisin-nut cake on Rosh Hashanah, latkes on Hanukkah, etc. The author includes recipes and a brief history of the holidays and the sabbath. His aim is to bring a bit of the biblical past into the lives of today's Jews. George Cohen Product Description: Whether you garden in an herb garden, a city apartment windowsill or patio, or on a country acre, with the fruits and vegetables of your own gardening labors, the traditional repasts of Jewish holidays and celebrations can be understood in many new ways! The Jewish Gardening Cookbook gives easy-to-follow instructions for raising foods that have been harvested since ancient times, such as grapes, figs, dates, and pomegranates. It also provides carefully selected, tasty, and easy-to-prepare traditional and modern recipes using these foodstuffs for holidays, festivals, and life cycle events. While introducing us to Biblical and rabbinical references to specific foods and agricultural methods, the author firmly grounds gardening and food preparation in the celebration of traditional Jewish rituals and life cycle events, such as Shabbat, Yom Ha-Atzma'ut (Israel Independence Day), the birth of a child, and more. Home cultivation of foods is thoroughly explained--from planting to pruning to the use of your long-awaited harvest surplus. Clearly illustrated with more than 30 fine botanical illustrations, this pro-active, creative book for beginner and professional gardener alike will inspire and bring insight into your most humble celebrations..
