Press: Recipes re-created with a dash of Scripture, pinch of guesswork - HC
(Houston Chronicle) "Hesse, 51, and Chiffolo, 47, combed seminary libraries and pored over at least 60 translations of the Old and New Testaments to figure out who ate what — and make an educated guess as to how the dishes were spiced.
They have packaged their findings in an encyclopedic new book, Cooking With the Bible: Biblical Food, Feasts and Lore.
Essays explore the religious and cultural significance of 18 passages that revolve around meals, such as King David's wedding or the feast to celebrate the return of the prodigal son. Hesse and Chiffolo then present an imagined menu for each occasion."
(I would call it less "an educated guess" and more "rampant conjecture," esp. for their gall in concocting a recipe for manna.)

Acutally, we did not create the recipe ourselves. We took it from another source. If you have a chance to read the book, you can see the references.
But gall, now there's one we did not do, although it is an ingredient in the bible.
