Everyone who reads God's Cook Book feels happier, and looks towards the past and the future in a new and positive way. The book is an achievement in publishing for the quality of the text and the unbelievable iconography. It is very ambitious in scope and delivers more than ever expected. --Edouard Cointreau, President, World Cookbook Awards
This book is a piece of art! Between its absolutely gorgeous, yet simple design from cover to cover, elegant illustrations, and excellent use of typography and white space, it is a model cookbook. Not to be overlooked, of course, are the recipes themselves, clearly printed and organized alongside visual embellishments and snippets of history, biblical tradition, health benefits, and quotes from the Old and New Testaments and the Quran, as well as other Muslim texts. A beautiful guide for those looking to eat foods and meals that are whole and healthy, closer to the earth and bound to ancient civilizations. A perfect reference for those wanting to explore different herbs and spices and methods of preparing foods using them, on the various ancient ties to many foods we enjoy today, and on the ties between faith and the act of preparing and eating food, fasting and feasting. --Writer s Digest (U.S.) book competition 2009
This was the most exquisitely produced digitally printed book. The jacket, the printed end papers and the clean, crisp reproduction of the images were excellent and of lithographic quality for a digitally printed book. --British Book Design and Production Awards - 2009
A fascinating mixture of history, religion and recipes, God's Cook Book explores the spiritual traditions of the ancient Levant and how they influenced culinary development. It offers a unique insight into the holy books of the three Abrahamic faiths, (Christianity, Judaism and Islam), and their prescriptions for human nutrition, as well as practical guides allowing the modern-day cook to recreate classical dishes. Complemented by illustrations drawn from the rich archives of the Arcadian Group, this book offers a tantalizing passage into antiquity. This book does not aim to preach or dwell on the differences among the three faiths, but to celebrate similarities and shared spiritual roots. It is intended as an appreciation of the oneness of the three Abrahamic faiths through the medium of the most universal preoccupation since the dawn of time: food. At the same time, this book is difficult to categorize, encompassing not only cooking, but also art, religion and philosophy.
