Haroset

Susan Weingarten
While every culture's cuisine tells a story, there are few foods that carry as much history and meaning as do those on the Passover Seder plate. Haroset: A Taste of Jewish History is the first book ever written about this traditional Passover seder food. In a captivating historical journey, food historian Dr. Susan Weingarten traces the development of this ancient dish through a tapestry of social, religious and cultural contexts. She shows how perceptions of haroset, as well as its actual ingredients, have developed through the generations, from the first hints of its existence in the Second Temple period, through the blood libels of the Middle Ages and the pogroms in Eastern Europe, to its role in the gender issues and modern food trends of today. By examining a wealth of written sources, oral histories, recipes and customs from around the world, Weingarten reveals a rich narrative through this otherwise unassuming food and provides a unique and fascinating perspective on the diversity of Jewish tradition, experience, and culture.
