Description

Authentic Cochini Jewish Cookbook from the Malabar Coast

Spice & Kosher presents the exotic Sephardi/Mizrahi cuisine from the Malabar coast of India, documenting culinary traditions developed by an ancient Jewish community that arrived 2000 years ago. This groundbreaking cookbook is the first of its kind in the world dedicated to Cochini Jewish cooking.

Ancient Jewish Community Meets Indian Spices

The Cochinis, who now predominantly reside in Israel, created a distinctive fusion of Jewish dietary laws with the aromatic spices of India's southwestern coast. Their cooking showcases the signature "3 Cs" - cardamom, cinnamon, and cumin - complemented by coconut, coriander, and pepper that define this unique culinary tradition.

Recipes Rooted in 2000 Years of History

Each recipe in this cookbook connects you to two millennia of cultural heritage. The book features authentic dishes that have been preserved and passed down through generations of Cochini families, blending kosher requirements with the abundant spices and ingredients of the Malabar region. From traditional festival dishes to everyday meals, these recipes represent a living history of Jewish adaptation and cultural synthesis.

Historical Context and Cultural Insights

Beyond recipes, this cookbook provides fascinating historical notes that illuminate the journey of the Cochini Jewish community. Learn how this ancient population maintained their religious identity while embracing the flavors of their Indian homeland, creating a cuisine that is both distinctly Jewish and unmistakably Indian.

A Culinary Bridge Between Continents

The recipes showcase how coconut-based curries, spice-laden rice dishes, and aromatic stews became kosher staples. This cookbook serves as an essential resource for anyone interested in Jewish culinary diversity, Indian regional cooking, or the intersection of religion and food culture. Perfect for food historians, cultural researchers, and home cooks seeking to explore lesser-known Jewish cuisines.

Authored by experts in Cochini culture, this paperback edition preserves recipes that might otherwise be lost to time, making it an invaluable addition to any collection focused on ethnic cooking, Jewish studies, or Asian culinary traditions.
