Hello, I am Chef Britt and this is my debut blog for Olives and Pomegranates. It is my belief that Muslims, Jews, and Christians can come together through our shared Abrahamic heritage; and there is no better place to start than with food. I have a small catering busisnes that is called Caravan Boheme, and I specialize in Mediterranean Cuisine, especially Sephardic Jewish Cooking. The roots of the Children of Abraham are in the Near East, and it is for that reason that I choose to focus here on the cuisines of that region. The cullinary traditions of the Christians of Lebanon and Syria, Israel's Jews and the Muslims of every country in the region create a gatronomic tapestry that is rich, varied and sumptious.
Join me as I traverse the land of Noah, Abraham, Jacob and Ishmael exploring, along the way, the shared food ways, which, sprang from the bounty of the shores of the mediterranean and the pastures and fields of Mesopotamia where our forefathers tread.
I will share recipes and their origins here, as well as, review cookbooks, restaurants and festivals pertaining to the subject of Mediterranean Cuisine and its meaning and value to we who call ourselves the Children of Abraham
Olives and Pomegranates is a forum about people and food and how food links us and gives us common ground and a greater understanding of one another. Olives and Pomegranates is dedicated to exploring the food culture of the mediterranean basin as it relates to Jews, Christians and Muslims; the people who created it, in the rich and fertile lands to which they pay alegence and which connects them to one another.
