Sephardic cooking has its roots in the gastronomic culture of the Iberian peninsula, where Jews, Moors, and Christians enjoyed a variety of dishes. Today, traditional Sephardic dishes are found all around the Mediterranean and its surrounding regions, united under common culinary principles, passed down over generations. Dishes like veal kabobs, gazpacho, and chicken soup with couscous are commonplace in Sephardic kitchens, though regional variations abound to ensure that each dish is unforgettable in its own special way.

In 95 Sephardic Delights, you'll find recipes from this modern fusion, as well as traditional recipes that have been passed down through the generations.
