La cucina della Bibbia

What did Adam and Eve eat in the Garden of Eden? What was the first cooked food? And what is the secret of the lentil soup that Esau tried? Is there a recipe for cooking manna? And what is prepared if the prophet Elijah is invited to lunch? Questions that arouse curiosity, answers that whet the appetite. The choice of certain foods, those and not others, always corresponds to a philosophy, so the food becomes a metaphor for life, love, sadness or joy. Sweet or bitter, salty or spicy, vegetable-based or meat-based, food evokes characters, episodes and moments in the history of mankind, all of which are contained in the book La cucina della Bibbia. Daniela Messi and Roberta Anau offer a key to interpreting the Old Testament and recipes to experience emotions that are thousands of years old. From the Garden of Eden to Paradise, from Egypt to the Promised Land, from the Red Sea to Jerusalem.
