Description

Exotic Sephardi/Mizrahi cuisine from the Malabar coast of India, as developed or adapted by an ancient community of Jews who landed there 2000 years ago. These Jews are called Cochinis and most of them live today in Israel. Spices, especially the 3 Cs - cardamom, cinnamon and cumin - along with coconut, coriander and pepper dominate their cooking. The book contains plenty of fascinating historical notes along with the recipes. This book on Cochini Jewish cooking is the first of its kind in the world.
