The Patriarchs knew a thing or two. They left us poetry, history, and religious instruction. They also knew something about physical sustenance as well. The diet of the ancients was healthful, and, considering the times, they were reasonably healthy. They chose from an amazing array of unadulterated ingredients, locally grown and fresh, consumed in the sweet open air. Holy Land farmers harvested a large variety of vegetables and fruits; their diet was high in fiber, minerals, and vitamins. In Cooking With the Ancients we will attempt to eat what they ate. Not completely, certainly not forever. But for a short time and special occasions. To create a Bible Dinner for our family and guests, entertaining strictly from the Book. Ultimately, it is one more thread in the tapestry that we choose to examine, unraveling it from our earliest roots, finding continuity, traditi! on, folklore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fmidnight.com\/mediabox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cookingwiththeancients.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3934\" style=\"width:363px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fmidnight.com\/mediabox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cookingwiththeancients.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.fmidnight.com\/mediabox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cookingwiththeancients-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Version 1.0.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title Cooking with the Ancients Author Arlene Stadd Series NA Ranking \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50 Genre Cookbook Links Goodreads For over two thousand years we looked to the Bible for wisdom, solace, and spiritual support.
