WINNER OF THE JEWISH BOOK COUNCIL'S NATAN NOTABLE BOOK AWARD

Experience the Talmud in a fresh way with recipes and stories that nourish the body and spirit.

Feeding the Women of the Talmud, Feeding Ourselves produces true food for thought by retelling the stories of sixty-nine women in the Talmud and honouring them with vegan or plant-based recipes. Enjoy sixty-nine delicious, balanced recipes ideal for family meals, entertaining, and healthy snacks. Each recipe is accompanied by stunning photography and meditations on stories of women in the Talmud that draw new meaning from the text.

This community cookbook is the co-creation of 129 Jewish women from around the world. Sixty rabbis, rabbinical students, Jewish teachers, and emerging thought leaders contributed to the Talmudic narratives, and sixty female professional chefs and passionate home cooks contributed to the recipes. The addition of this female-focused point of view to these women's Talmudic storiesβ€”recorded and edited by menβ€”is a bright and encouraging testament to a modern generation of women engaging in Jewish learning.
