This recipe looks amazing and like just the kind of thing that my family would have made.

My friend and I run a Web site in the UK that pairs a wine with a food blog recipe every Friday. I would love to cook this and pair it with your consent. (I’ll send you an e-mail with the details.)

I am so glad that I stumbled across your site and this recipe from a link at Rasa Malaysia. I’ll probably have to get the book now too.

True, conversos were commonly called Morranos, but that is a pejorative term.
As I read the book I cried, but felt how important it is to preserve the memories of their courage, and to call their recipies by the names of the women who suffered for them.

Thank you, all.

Lea – Most of the recipes don’t call to me, honestly, but the stories are fascinating throughout. And the recipes that do call out to me, like this one, are just wonderful.

I just saw that book in a local bookstore a few weeks ago, and have been dreaming about it ever since. Spain’s secret Jews are also more commonly known as the Marranos.

This stew looks great. I’m excited to try one of the recipes out before I get my hands on the book.

Lovely. The photos are beautiful, dear, and quite nearly as wonderful as the stew tasted!

Perfectly tasty and perfectly beautiful.
My goodness, your write up on the book has me lusting for another.
