A Drizzle of Honey the Life and Recipes of Spain's Secret Jews

David M. Gitlitz

Gitlitz and Davidson pieced together recipes from Inquisition court testimonies, where neighbors and servants were interrogated about suspected Jews' cooking habits, and the result is a fascinating window into how crypto-Jews kept their food traditions alive while hiding in plain sight. The recipes blend Christian and Islamic influences with saffron, mace, ginger, and cinnamon, and each one comes with the real story of the person who made it.
