Anne Shooter was always going to publish a book of recipes, but a chance meeting with Nigella Lawson, finally got the ball rolling. As a food journalist and all-round foodie, Shooter had noticed a rise in interest in Jewish food and Middle Eastern food, here and in New York. Another chance meeting led her to book agent Felicity Rubenstein, who loved the idea and immediately took Shooter on. She had spent six months researching and writing it. From the Bakery Said Abuelafia in Jaffa - a tiny bakery run by Christian Arabs, where they make thousands of pitta breads - to a stall in Machane Yehuda in Jerusalem, to the really trendy high-end bakeries in the coolest parts of Tel Aviv - a real cross section. She even found inspiration on holiday in Costa Rica. The Costa Rican community is an Ashkenazi one - made Sesame & Spice: Baking from the East End to the Middle East of mainly Polish and Russian immigrants - not at all what I was expecting. But she also believes there is an underlying menu that binds us no matter which part of the world we hail from. We have all come from the same communities but travelled to different places, taking the same recipes with us. So although there are variants, many of the dishes we eat are similar to other Jewish communities. We mostly have the same pool we dip into. Shooter, who is so passionate about food, took a career break to train as a professional chef at Leith's School of Food and Wine a few years ago. It took her cooking up a notch or three. Her new cooking skills plus a dip into her own foodie gene pool helped when recipe writing, and she cites her mother, grandmothers and aunts as her inspiration. He used to swap meat for West End theatre tickets from actors like Miriam Margolyes - we'd call them the 'wurst tickets'. Shooter recalls maternal grandmother Freda Gold was an amazing haimische, cook - "Her apple cake was the best and is in the book" - while her father's mother, her booba, who was from Dutch aristocracy, "spoke like the queen, wore pearls and had weekly manicures" was the more adventurous cook. Shooter concurs with a view common in Jewish food writing that today, Jewish food is as much about hummus as it is Sesame & Spice: Baking from the East End to the Middle East salt beef. And her recipes reflect that, with and pletzels alongside bread; while Hungarian monkey bread and chocolate orange babke, share a chapter with Sephardi bimuelos and yeasted cake bola. For traditionalists there is , honey cake, flecked with cranberries and pistachios and kichels - credited to booba. More adventurous cooks will love the little twists. A chocolate biscuit fridge cake is given a Middle Eastern flavour with halva, pistachios and Turkish delight. And so what I thought was 'why not do a Middle Eastern fridge cake with all the things that I love about ? I thought I wasn't going to be able to include it, but then had a marvellous idea.

Spices are discussed in biblical narratives, and there is literary evidence for their use in ancient Greek and Roman society. There is a record from Tamil texts of Greeks purchasing large sacks of from India, and many recipes in the 1st-century Roman cookbook Apicius make use of the spice. The trade in spices lessens after the fall of the Roman Empirebut demand for gingerblack pepper, clovescinnamon and nutmeg revives the trade in later centuries. Rome played a part in the spice trade during the 5th century, but this role, unlike the Arabian one, did not last through the Middle Ages. The Spice trade Sesame & Spice: Baking from the East End to the Middle East brought great riches to the Abbasid Caliphateand even inspired famous legends such as that of Sinbad the Sailor. These early sailors and merchants would often set sail from the port city of Basra and eventually after many voyages they would return to sell their goods including spices in Baghdad. The fame of many spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon are attributed to these early Spice merchants. The Indian commercial connection with South East Asia proved vital to the merchants of Arabia Sesame & Spice: Baking from the East End to the Middle East Persia during the 7th and 8th centuries. The islands of Molucca also find mention in several records: a Javanese chronicle mentions the Moluccas and Maloko ; [18] and navigational works of the 14th and 15th centuries contain the first unequivocal Arab reference to Moluccas.

The Ottoman Empireafter the fall of Constantinople inbarred Europeans from important combined land-sea routes. The Republic of Venice had become a formidable power, and a key player in the Eastern spice trade. Inhowever, the Ottoman Empire took control of the sole spice trade route that existed at the time after the fall of Constantinopleand were in a favorable position to charge hefty taxes on merchandise bound for the west. The Western Europeans, [ which? The first country to attempt to Sesame & Spice: Baking from the East End to the Middle East Africa was Portugal, which had, since the early 15th century, begun to explore northern Africa under Henry the Navigator. Emboldened by these early successes and eyeing a lucrative monopoly on a possible sea route to the Indies the Portuguese first crossed the Cape of Good Hope in on an expedition led by Bartolomeu Dias. The wealth of the Indies was now open for the Europeans to explore; the Portuguese Empire was the earliest European seaborne empire to grow from the spice trade. East of Malacca, Albuquerque sent several diplomatic and exploratory missions, including to the Moluccas. From — Albuquerque tried to completely block Arab and other traditional routes that stretched from the shores of Western Pacific to the Mediterranean sea, through the conquest of strategic bases in the Persian Gulf and at the entry of the Red Sea. By the early 16th century the Portuguese had complete control of the African sea route, which extended through a long network of routes that linked three oceans, from the Moluccas the Spice Islands in the Pacific Ocean limits, through Malacca, Kerala and Sri Lanka, to Lisbon in Portugal Europe. The Crown of Castile had organized the expedition of Christopher Columbus to compete with Portugal for the spice trade with Asia, but when Columbus landed on the island of Hispaniola what is now Haiti instead of in the Indies the search for a route to Asia was postponed until a few years later. On October 21,his expedition crossed the Strait of Magellan in the southern tip of South America, opening the Pacific to European exploration. On March 16,the ships reached the Philippines and soon after the Spice Islands, ultimately resulting in the Manila Galleon trade, the first westward spice trade route to Asia. After Magellan's death in the Philippines, navigator Juan Sebastian Elcano took command of the expedition and drove it across the Indian Ocean and back to Spain, where they arrived in aboard the last remaining ship: the Victoria. For the next two and half centuries, Spain controlled a vast trade network that linked three continents: Asia, the Americas and Europe. One of the most important technological exchanges of the spice trade network was the early introduction of maritime technologies to India, the Middle East, east Africa, and China by the Austronesian peoples. These technologies include the plank-sewn hulls, catamaransoutrigger boatsand possibly the lateen sail. This is still evident in Sri Lankan and South Indian languages. Austronesians also introduced a large number of Austronesian cultigens to southern India, Sri Lanka, and eastern Africa, which figured prominently in the spice trade. Hindu and Buddhist religious establishments of Southeast Asia came to be associated with economic activity and commerce as patrons entrusted large funds which would later be used to benefit local economy by estate management, craftsmanship promotion of trading activities. Indian merchants involved in spice trade took Indian cuisine to Southeast Asia, notably present day Malaysia and Indonesiawhere spice mixtures and black pepper became popular. European people intermarried with the Indians, and popularized valuable culinary skills, such as bakingin India. Media related to Spice trade at Wikimedia Commons.
