  Jewish Food Traditions - A...

  Jewish cuisine is a rich tapestry woven from centuries of history, migration, and adaptation. Rooted in biblical traditions and shaped by the diverse cultures of the Jewish diaspora, it reflects not only religious laws but also the unique influences of the lands where Jewish communities have settled. From the ancient meals mentioned in the Torah to the diverse dishes found in Jewish homes today, the evolution of Jewish food is a story of resilience, preservation, and adaptation. 
  The origins of Jewish cuisine can be traced back to the foods consumed in biblical times. The Torah and Talmud contain numerous references to ingredients and meals that were staples of early Jewish life. Grains, olives, figs, dates, and lentils were essential components of the diet, often accompanied by goat’s milk, honey, and fish. Meat was consumed in accordance with strict kosher laws, which dictated which animals could be eaten and how they should be slaughtered and prepared. These dietary guidelines, known as kashrut, continue to define Jewish cooking and eating practices today, ensuring that food remains a fundamental part of religious and cultural identity. 
  As Jewish communities spread across the world, their cuisine was influenced by local flavors and cooking techniques. The dispersal of Jewish populations following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE led to the formation of distinct culinary traditions. Ashkenazi Jews, who settled in Central and Eastern Europe, incorporated ingredients such as potatoes, cabbage, and beets, which were common in the region. Meanwhile, Sephardic Jews, who lived in Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East, embraced the bold spices, fresh herbs, and rich stews characteristic of Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines.

  From the author of Clean Green Eats, a Japanese-inspired guide to finding balance, joy, and good health—A Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up for wellness—that emphasizes a simple, streamlined method for cleaning up your eating habits and offers modern-day applications of ancient Japanese healing practices and philosophy 
  Candice Kumai has always treasured the Japanese traditions that shaped her childhood. In recent years, she’s been spending more time in Japan, meeting with relatives and absorbing the culture. It was on one of those trips that she visited a Kintsugi master and found the guiding inspiration for her next book. 
  Kintsugi is an art form that reconstructs broken pottery, sealing the pieces together with gold to create something that is even more beautiful for all of its cracks and flaws. In Kintsugi Wellness, Candice shows us how this ancient Japanese practice can be applied to our lives to achieve radiant health. 
  Part 1: Lifestyle introduces the Japanese art of living and aging well, from spending more time with family + nature and honoring the seasons (and the impact of the seasons your body) to reconnecting with ancestors + learning of adaptation, discipline, humility and kaizen (continuous improvement). 
  Part 2: Mind explores the ways in which the mind and body are inextricably linked in Japanese wellness philosophies, showing readers how the philosophy of golden repair can be applied in cleansing rituals, meditation, and soothing traditions. 
  Part 3: Heart shows us how to incorporate a greater sense of connection and gratitude into our lives through community, spirituality, personal relationships, nature, respect and family—the cornerstones of Japanese culture. 
  Part 4: Nutrition offers detailed information on essential Japanese ingredients (including superfoods like green tea/matcha, miso, and fermented foods) as well as traditional cooking traditions and methods, with forty whole-food recipes including California style bowls, miso, soba, temaki (hand-roll) sushi, bento boxes and more. 
  The philosophy of kintsugi is not about perfection—it is about healing, becoming whole, and finding the beauty in our imperfections. Written in Candice’s warm, conversational style, Kintsugi Wellness offers readers the tools to mend what ails them and to embrace and celebrate what makes them unique.

  Cake: A Slice of British Life

  ‘A delightful odyssey through the history, nostalgia, fascination and British love of cake. Quirky, charming, and fun.’ PRUE LEITH 
  The British take cakes seriously. We hold strong opinions about how to bake a brownie with the perfect squidge, the correct proportions of icing to sponge, and whether it’s jam or cream first on our scones. Now – thanks to the success of a certain TV baking show – our flirtation with flour, fruit and frosting has become a full-blown love affair. 
  But how did the humble cake evolve from a simple combination of starch and fat to the show-stopping bakes of today, taking pride of place at every meaningful life celebration? Travelling the country from Dundee to the Isle of Wight, writer Andrew Baker (by name, not occupation) serves up the story of our national obsession with cake, one slice at a time. 
  On this greediest of quests, Andrew seeks to discover the ‘True Slice’ of each iconic cake. This enviable task sees him eat sponge sandwiched with jam and cream at Queen Victoria’s holiday home Osborne House, discover the illustrious yet scandal-filled history of the Battenberg’s saccharine squares and learn how a caterpillar enrobed in chocolate became a party-starting birthday centerpiece. 
  From King Alfred’s oatcakes to The River Café’s revered Chocolate Nemesis, this is the crumb-spattered, buttercream-smeared story of the cakes that have claimed a place on British tables – and in our hearts. 
  Andrew Baker's Cake is a non-fiction exploration of the best regional dishes in Britain. From Scottish oatcakes to Welsh scones, this narrative is a testament to the ethnic diversity and evolution of English cooking. 
  For fans of Diana Henry (From the Oven to the Table), Toni Tipton-Martin (When Southern Women Cook), Regula Ysewijn (The Official Bridgerton Cookbook), Ann Volkwein (Salt Hank), and Max Miller (Tasting History).
