Description
Cooking with the Bible is a feast for the body, mind, and spirit, providing contemporary cooks with recipes for eighteen meals described in the Judeo-Christian bible.

Reviews:
-If food connects us to each other, to our families, and to our history, then Cooking With the Bible, helps to connect us to biblical stories and peoples. Selecting passages from The book of Genesis through the Gospels, authors Chiffolo and Hesse first offer an accessible, easily understood commentary on the context of each story and then, using mostly ingredients available in common grocery stores, create menus with recipes to invoke the meal highlighted in the selected passage. While cooks of all abilities would enjoy trying their hand at the recipes listed, it is a great book for small and large bible study and fellowship groups who want to engage bible stories with all their senses, not just their intellect....[C]ooking With The Bible would certainly make a strong and frequently used addition to the church library shelf. —Food and Faith/Presbyterians Today
-In Cooking with the Bible there are no impossibly pretty pictures of food that would excite Martha Stewart or otherwise make everyday cooks like us feel inadequate. What it has is a richness of stories, imagination, and yes, recipes that bring us back to the real meaning of food and feast. It reminds us that in biblical times, the lives of Christians and Jews alike centered on the breaking of bread. —Anglican Journal
-BUY Cooking with the Bible for your beloved, and perhaps he or she will produce Solomons love feast for you on St Valentines Day. This blend of biblical stories, culinary notes, and recipes has seduced me. —Church Times
