Tasty Bible Stories This book was more for children and their recipes did not follow along with what would have been available during Bible times. The stories were interesting and I did display one of the pictures of Ruth and Boas on my serving table at our social services.
Meeting God at the Table I love this book. I purchased it with the intent of using it for inspiration - I'm writing a Vacation Bible School curriculum for my parish. The recipes are wonderful and they are connected to biblical paraphrases. Most of the recipes are easy to prepare and lend themselves to a group activity. The illustrations are delightful also. The book is from a Jewish perspective. Do not expect Christian scripture references. The stories are all from the Hebrew Scriptures. Of course, those are the stories most Christian kids hear in Sunday School! So, bake an apple pie and re-read the stories of Creation in Genesis. It's fun to meet God at the table.
Wonderful! This is exactly what I was looking for! I am a chef and a Religious Education Director. I get to combine my love for God and my love for cooking and share it with the children!
The Good Book and the Cook Book Although not lengthy, this paperback is a terrific resource for families or religious school teachers. The recipes are easy enough for kids to make largely on their own and are very appealing taste-wise. Adding a food dimension to Bible studies makes the lessons more memorable and interactive. I use it regularly with my class and wish I'd had it when my kids were young!
