Aaron S. Gross, Jody Myers, and Jordan D. Rosenblum. Feasting and Fasting: The History and Ethics of Jewish Food. New York University Press, 2020.
This book comes with heavy-duty endorsements: a Foreword by Hasia Diner, and an Afterword by Jonathan Safran Foer.
I was interested to read it and did a blurb for it.
Feasting and Fasting is a fascinating account of the history of Jewish food, within and outside of dietary laws.

This book is a great read.
