I didn't get a chance to see the show, but it is such a coincident. I just a
new (to me) cookbook yesterday - Biblical Garden Cookery by Eileen Gaden It
has recipes and history lessons in it. But how accurate for this List, the
recipes I are, I have my doubts for in the preface, second paragraph the
author writes: "For these peoples and from careful reading of rich
scriptural sources, we have a good understanding about food and it's
preparation in biblical times. Although no recipes as such have come down to
us, we do kow which foods were in use"

watch and see if they show it again so I can tape it.
