The Promised Land Platter

Chef Asaf Doktor and Dr. Jeremy Fogel embark on a scholarly yet playful journey through the ancient Jewish menu, from the era attributed to Abraham to the end of the Mishnaic period (around 2,300 years). Along the way, they trace flavors and aromas, spiritual and medicinal contexts, and the ways food shaped daily life in this formative era of Judaism. The series is based on the extensive research of Dr. Tova Dickstein, a leading scholar of biblical-era food and author of Journey to the Roots: Following the Forgotten Stories and Flavors of Israeli Food.
