Feeding Women of the Bible, Feeding Ourselves

This book lifts up and raises the voices of female characters from the Bible./p>

Feeding the Women of the Bible, Feeding Ourselves is a modern Jewish cookbook that offers plant based recipes. It can be read and reread while sitting comfortably on the couch, and later transferred to the kitchen to serve as a recipe book.

The women of the Bible were very much like women today in that they were imperfect and faced many of the trials and tribulations that contemporary women experience, from jealousy and mistreatment to infertility. ey were also capable of great things just as we are: leadership, love, loyalty, motherhood and healing, to name a few.

When a woman walks into the kitchen to prepare a meal, she's not just doing something technical. She nourishes her soul and the souls of her family members or guests. She expresses her creativity and offering others the opportunity to share in her joys and challenges.

In this cookbook, women will connect to strong female characters from the Bible and to the energetic themes of their respective narrative. Each female character is "offered" recipes aligned with what she is needing most. ese biblical women and corresponding recipes will inspire and offer health food to the women who cook them.

Cooking is connected to tradition. Food communicates our history. Many of us eat to re-experience our emotional memories. This project is an act of connecting healthier kosher pareve recipes to women from the Bible. It is a project that connects female biblical stories to our modern female body. Today, women require and seek out healthy food to nourish our complex and complete lives.
