Feeding Women of the Bible cookbook features a short compelling
narrative of 20 female biblical heroines from the Hebrew bible, paired
with two healthy plant-based kosher pareve recipes inspired by the
character's experience.
You learn about these extraordinary women through:
Their Stories: a concise summary of the female biblical character's
narrative.
Verses: key quotations from the Hebrew Bible relating to the
biblical character's narrative. All quotations are from The Hebrew
Bible: A Translation and Commentary by Robert Alter.
Themes: essential emotional, mental, physical, social themes that
define the heroine's narrative or role.
Midrash: a modern commentary, uplifting the voice of the biblical
heroine without attempting to neutralise their imperfections, flaws or
struggles.
Prompts: meaningful questions arising from her story, to inspire
further reflection for women today.
Food Offerings: two plant-based recipes developed to honour the
biblical heroines.
This is a community cookbook by Kenden Alfond and is the co-creation of
40 Jewish women. The twenty biblical narratives are contributed by
Rabbis, Rabbinical students, Jewish teachers and emerging thought
leaders. The forty-one plant-based recipes were developed by
professional chefs, homecooks who are elementary school students, and
great-grandmothers.
