 \;\n\nCook­ing alla Giu­dia\nCooking alla Giudia is the ultimate tribut
 e to the wonderfully rich\, yet still largely unknown\, culinary heritage 
 of the Jews of Italy. From Roman deep-fried artichokes (carciofi alla giud
 ia) to Venetian sarde in saor (sweet-and-sour sardines)\, Apulian orecchie
 tte pasta\, and Sicilian caponata\, some of Italy’s best-known dishes a
 re Jewish in origin. But little is known about the Jewish people in Italy
  and their culinary traditions. It was the Jews\, for example\, who taught
  Italians to eat the eggplant\, and thus helped inspire the classic eggpla
 nt parmigiana and many other local specialties. With a collection of koshe
 r recipes from all regions of Italy\, including plenty of vegan\, vegetari
 an\, and gluten-free options\, author Benedetta Jasmine Guetta is on a mis
 sion to tell the story of how the Jews changed Italian food\, to preserve
  these recipes\, and to share with home cooks the extraordinary dishes pr
 epared in the Jewish communities of Italy. Highlighted throughout the book
  are menus with regional Italian specialties\, along with short\, useful g
 uides to the Italian cities with Jewish history. The book will show how t
 o integrate the recipes into your everyday meals and holiday traditions as
  well.\n\n\n\nBenedet­ta Jas­mine Guet­ta\nBenedetta Jasmine Guetta is 
 an Italian food writer and photographer. She was born in Milan\, but she l
 ives in Santa Monica\, California. In 2009\, she cofounded a website calle
