Description

Discover the history of chocolate in Jewish food and culture with this unique recipe book, bringing together individual recipes from more than fifty noted Jewish bakers. This is the perfect book for chocoholics, anyone keen to grow their repertoire of chocolate-based recipes, or those with an interest in the diverse ways that chocolate is used around the world.

Highlights include Claudia Roden's Spanish hot chocolate, the Gefilteria's dark chocolate and roasted beetroot ice-cream, Honey & Co's marble cake and Joan Nathan's chocolate almond cake. As well as recipes for sweet-toothed readers, savory dishes include Alan Rosenthal's chocolate chilli and Denise Phillips' Sicilian caponata. There are also delicious naturally gluten-free and vegan recipes to cater to a variety of dietary requirements.

Each recipe helps provide an insight into the important role chocolate has played in Jewish communities across the centuries, from Jewish immigrants and refugees taking chocolate from Spain to France in the 1600s, to contemporary Jewish bakers crossing continents to discover, adapt and share new chocolate recipes for today's generation.

Babka, Boulou & Blintzes is a unique collection published in conjunction with the British Jewish charity Chai Cancer Care.

Reviews

"Rich, fragrant, enticing, heavenly chocolate -- it's almost too good to be true! Michael Leventhal presents a recipe book filled with spectacular gourmet offerings, lush photographs in color, and fascinating bits of Jewish history that tell the story of chocolate as it relates to Jewish culture and history all around the world. It's almost too good to be true, but it is temptingly, sensuously, satisfyingly real."--Michal Hoschander Malen, Jewish Book Council
"If you're a chocoholic, or know one, or for those with an interest in the diverse ways that chocolate is used around the world, this book of chocolate-based recipes is for you."-- "STL Jewish Light"
"The best book about chocolate I have ever read - terrific recipes, gorgeous photography and a unique cultural perspective. As with all the best Jewish cookbooks, you want to dive in and eat till you feel sick. Then eat some more."
--Giles Coren
