<p>This week I’m talking with <b>Claudia Roden</b>…</p> <p>Claudia is one of the world’s most unique cookbook writers and cultural anthropologists.</p> <p>She grew up in Cairo as an Egyptian Jew, studied in Paris and London, and every step of her career so far has been beyond fascinating!</p> <p>Over the years she has published multiple bestsellers, including the international award-winning <b><i>The Book of Jewish Food</i></b>, which has just been re-released as a special <a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/36159/the-book-of-jewish-food-by-roden-claudia/9780241996645" target="_blank">25th anniversary edition</a>, available anywhere you get your books!</p> <p>As a result of 16 years of research and world travel, <b><i>The Book of Jewish Food</i></b> was originally released in 1997 when Jewish food was overlooked by the food industry, instead only being enjoyed behind closed doors.</p> <p>In this book Claudia shone a light on the diverse flavours and cultural origins of those dishes, revealing the beauty and simplicity of traditional Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Mizrahi food on the page for the first time.</p> <p>In doing so she put Jewish food on the map, and changed the modern culinary landscape for good.</p> <p>This new 25th anniversary edition includes new content and recipes, and it’d make the perfect gift for any home cook!</p> <p><a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/36159/the-book-of-jewish-food-by-roden-claudia/9780241996645" target="_blank">The Book of Jewish Food, 25th Anniversary Edition, published by Penguin</a></p> <p>Other books by Claudia Roden:</p> <p><a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/442490/med-by-roden-claudia/9781529108583" target="_blank">Med, A Cookbook</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/36138/a-new-book-of-middle-eastern-food-by-roden-claudia/9780140465884" target="_blank">A New Book of Middle Eastern Food</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/353973/the-food-of-italy-by-claudia-roden/9780224096010" target="_blank">The Food of Italy</a></p> <p>Photo credit ⓒ Stuart Simpson</p> <p>--</p> <p><a href="https://sodspod.com/" target="_blank">SodsPod.com</a></p> <p>All episodes are available as video, exclusively on the SodsPod YouTube channel - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSodsLawPodcast" target="_blank">youtube.com/c/TheSodsLawPodcast</a></p> <p>See <a href="https://www.podcast.co/privacy" target="_blank">podcast.co/privacy</a> for privacy information.</p>
