To be seated at a Sephardic table is to bare witness to centuries of a mesmerizingly rich cultural heritage overflowing with traditions and festivities, symbols and superstitions, stories and insights, fragrances, tastes and culinary secrets all handed down from generation to generation around the ever-present Sephardic feast.

Following the expulsion of the Jews in 1492 by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, Sephardic Jewish communities spread to new shores bringing with them their rich gastronomic heritage from Moorish Spain which naturally evolved into a wonderfully complex fusion of flavours incorporating Ottoman Turkish, Greek, Hispanic, African and other influences.

Deeply inspired by her roots and constantly immersed in its traditions, author, artist and Sephardic cuisine expert Stella Cohen has set out to record the legacy of this vibrant, fascinating yet vanishing world for posterity and tell the story of her own family’s cultural journey from Rodos (where her great-grandfather Haham Yaacov Capouya, was the esteemed sage and Rabbi of Rhodes) to Rhodesia (today known as Zimbabwe) where she has raised her family to continue the traditions as passed on to her. 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.

Stella’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.

More than a Beautiful and Delicious Cookbook - WOW!

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2012

Verified Purchase

I am not Sephardic, nor am I Jewish, but I love to cook and am always looking for new and interesting ideas. When Stella's book arrived, I was initially impressed with the sheer quality of the book. It is gorgeous - the paper is thick and gold tipped and the pictures are lovely. But then I opened it and saw that it was much more than a cookbook - it is also a personal tale of Stella's family and her history. Throughout the cookbook, Stella is able to bring the reader into her life and share her story. I found myself reading her family story like I would read a memoir.

Now on to the cookbook aspect, I have only tried a handful of recipes so far, but love that they are often an interesting twist on a more familiar recipe. For example, the macaroni and meat bake added eggs to the recipe, which made for a delicious twist on a meal that I traditionally serve. My kids loved this version too! I also really liked the simplicity of many recipes, such as the fish stewed in tomato sauce, where Stella makes suggestions for different versions.

I am excited to try more of the recipes - particularly the dessert section.

Thank you Stella and your beautiful family for your recipes and for sharing your personal story with us. You have all joined our dinner table as well.

The Most Beautiful Cookbook/Coffee-Table Book EVER

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book was created and conceived with such love. We are absolutely privileged to bear witness to this love, with Stella Cohen sharing it all with us.

The book itself is a complete work of art, both in the way it is designed and the way it is written and laid out. Ms. Cohen had quite a bit of her own incredible artwork in the book, as well as intensely beautiful photos--not just of the food (although those pics are beautiful as well), but of locations around the world, family photos and old maps.

The backgrounds on each recipe are insightful and always interesting, and the recipes themselves are laid out perfectly for cooks. I particularly love the ladino sayings at the bottoms of pages. Some I remember my grandmother (Nona) using, and some I remember my father and uncle using.

This book is a joy to read, and even just look at. The peek into an ancient ethnic group and its history is mind-blowing, particularly if you are not familiar with Sephardic people.

Enjoy!!!

Reminds me of days with my Grandma!

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

I love this cookbook. I've purchased other Sephardic cookbooks before, but this one is outstanding and for once everything looks like the food my grandmother used to make - the Rhodesli way! The recipes are easy to follow, and the photos take me back in time. I was so excited about the recipes that I spent two days cooking everything I could for Rosh Hashana to give the entire family that wonderful trip back in time to our Sephardic roots. My wonderful 82 year old uncle who I doubt has ever cooked a meal in his life spent hours reminicing and looking through the book. He tried to order the cookbook by phone from Amazon (hey he's 82 he doesn't have a computer!), but alas, he could not - so I'm ordering one for him right now! I particularly loved the family tree. Stella - it looks like we might be related! No wonder all the food looked like my grandmother's! What fun.

Magnificent book-worth double the price

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

Being of Sephardic heritage-family from Salonika, Greece-descended from the Jews that left Spain during the Inquisition in the 15th century- I have collected cook books of the foods from this culture-Greek, Turkish, Middle Eastern and even Spanish from many years ago. I hate to cook but loved my mother's and Aunts cooking, but now that they are gone, I no longer have them to sit down with and copy down their recepies. This book made me wish I had !
This book is magnificent! It is worth three times the price. When it arrived today, I could barely lift it as it is printed on the best quality paper and binding and the photography is spectacular. This book is like an Art "Coffee Table" book.
Bravo to Stella and the publishers. I plan to alert what is left of my family to buy this book and give it to their chlldren and grandchildren to carry on the tradition of "Food is Love"!!

A true treasure!

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

As a Sephardic Jew with roots in Turkey and Greece it was obvious that I would be drawn to this book. When it came in the mail yesterday I was overwhelmed by the beauty and quality of this book. Stella tells a story that could be my own! She has included the recipes that I have grown up with in my family and makes them easy to follow. My recipes from my grandmother are "a glass or this, a handful of that" so I appreciate that Stella has made these user friendly! I will buy copies for my daughters so the tradition can continue in their own kitchens. Thank you, Stella! This book, for my family, is a treasure!

Un libro extraordinario, tanto por el contenido como por la forma. Encuadernación y papel de máxima calidad, el libro además está muy bien escrito y es muy emocionante. Para quienes tengan orígenes sefardies, sin duda, este libro es de obligada lectura, hay recetas que yo personalmente tenia olvidadas y me ha despertado memorias de mi infancia en casa de mi abuela. Todas las recetas muy bien explicadas. Felicidades a la autora!

Can double as a coffee table book

Reviewed in Canada on January 21, 2016

This cookbook is amazing! The recipes are delicious and easy to follow, but it's the photography that makes this really special. I often leave it out on my coffee table for friends to flip through and get inspired. Best purchase I've made in quite some time. Sure to be a family heirloom at some point. :)

A Beautiful Colourful Book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

The Book itself is a Work of Art, really superbly produced, a pleasure to turn the pages when using a recipe. It is also full of beautiful easy to follow recipes, with great photos. I just love how like a Family Diary it is, the author invites us into her past and we really get to see where her Recipes have come from and how they have Evolved through the Generations of her family. I really like this style of a Cookery/Family History of the Recipes Book.
