In 1986, \"Sephardic Cuisine\" by Stella Cohen, a humble spiral bound cookbook, was independently published under the auspices of the Sephardic community of Zimbabwe and quickly became an international success, being reprinted many times over. For more than ten years, Stella has worked at revising and extending the original to include a more thorough exploration of the age-old subject and the techniques and traditions around it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStella's Sephardic Table is a treasure trove of inspiration for the soul, filled with over 250 sumptuous easy-to-follow recipes, all lavishly illustrated and garnished with anecdotes, Ladino sayings, essays and rare insights into family-cherished tips and tricks traditionally passed from mother to daughter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stella Cohen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1919939679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781919939674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald \u0026amp; Marc Hoberman Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 10.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Jewish Book Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Independent Publisher Book Awards - Silver Medal Winner","brand":"Stella Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986370035967,"sku":"9781919939674","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f02a80d-4cdd-4381-88df-96ed642997d3.jpg?v=1683282964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stellas-sephardic-table-stella-cohen-9781919939674","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
