A Biblical Feast: Foods from the Holy Land.

The author, Kitty Morse lists all the foods mentioned in the King James Bible, but assumes there were others, too, because the writers of the Old and New Testaments were, logically, more concerned with theology and other events than with "botanical, zoological, and culinary matters."

Morse also explains what grains were available and how they were used. There are recipes you will enjoy, such as Toasted Ground Almond and Sesame Dip; Chicken, Leek, and Garbanzo Bean Stew; and Apricots with Pomegranate Seeds and Toasted Nuts in Honey Syrup. A Biblical Feast is recommended for teachers and for those who might use its information in family activities.

Cooking with the Bible: Biblical Food, Feasts, and Lore.

This book looks at eighteen meals found in the bible, providing full menus and recipes for re-creating some of the dishes enjoyed by the peoples of biblical times. While describing how ancient cooks prepared their foods, this book also explains how contemporary cooks might use modern techniques and appliances to prepare each of the eighteen meals.

To set the scene for each meal, the book examines the scriptural text in detail, describes the backstory for each, and, in the process, traces Judeo-Christian history from the ancient city of Ur to the lands of Egypt to the holy city of Jerusalem.
