Bene Israel & Friulian Recipes are up

Bene Israel Recipes

The Bene Israel are one of three Jewish communities native to India.  They are also likely the oldest – tracing their history to the 2nd century BC – and largest.  They are now based in Bombay, though most of their members have emigrated to Israel.  Their cuisine is based on Indian flavors and foodstuffs, but it’s adapted to fit with Jewish dietary requirements and holidays.  Two of the three dishes I made were really good.  Check out my Bene Israel recipes.

Friuli

Friuli occupies the northwestern corner of Italy.  Its cuisine is northern Italian with Austro-Hungarian influences.  Check out my Friulian recipes.
