Crusader Jerusalem (workshop at BEIT AVI CHAI)
The European knights who came to the Holy Land during the period of the Crusades discovered a new and unfamiliar abundance of foods.
The delicacies of the Crusader Period will take us through the vibrant Jerusalem of those decades, while historical texts expose us to musings about food in Christian texts, dishes for pilgrims, and culinary status symbols.
The encounter with canes sugar, citrus fruits, cucumbers, watermelons, and a whole cornucopia of flavors that thoroughly confused European cooks.
