Centuries of the captivating cultural heritage of Sephardic cooking have been portrayed in Stella Cohen’s magnificent new cookbook, Stella’s Sephardic Table. This exquisitely photographed and presented cookbook is likely to become the must-have cookbook for anyone interested in the rich tradition and customs of the Sephardic table.

Deeply inspired by her roots and immersed in its traditions, food writer and Sephardic cuisine doyenne Stella set out to trace the migration of her family from 15th Century Spain to the Mediterranean island of Rhodes and eventually to Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where Stella was born, and raised her own family to continue the Sephardic culinary legacy of the Jews of Rhodes.

Stella’s Sephardic Table is the result of this deeply personal journey, spanning 25 years of research, refinement and reflection. It is a treasure trove of flavourful, easy-to-follow recipes and recollections woven together in a lavishly illustrated and beautifully written book. More than just a cookbook, the book combines family recipes with hints and twists on tradition passed from mother to daughter, personal memoirs and essays giving insight into their rich cultural heritage.
