The Scent of Orange Blossoms

Kitty Morse, Danielle Mamane

This book traces what happened when Sephardic Jews fled Spain during the Inquisition and landed in Morocco, blending Spanish, Moorish, and Jewish cooking into something entirely its own. You get holiday menus with recipes like fava bean soup with cilantro for Passover and chicken couscous with orange blossom water for Yom Kippur, all woven together with letters between mothers and newly married daughters that show how food, family, and tradition stay connected across generations.
