Widely admired as both a great cook and a fine writer, she has written classic works on Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Italian and Spanish food. The Book of Jewish Food was granted 8 awards. The book which besides giving recipes, tells the story of the Jewish people through their food.
Claudia Roden
Claudia Roden was born in Egypt. She started out as a painter, but was drawn to the subject of food partly through a desire to record her lost heritage when her family had to leave the country. The way people in Egypt enjoyed food, the light, the colors and scents and the special hospitality, warmth and humor, made a lasting impression on her. With the publication of the bestseller ‘The New Book of Middle Eastern Food’ in 1968 Claudia Roden brought a revolutionary change in Western appreciation of the cuisines of the Middle East. Since then, Roden wrote numerous cookbooks, including the acclaimed The Book of Jewish Food. In 1989 she won Italy's two most prestigious food prizes, the Premio Orio Vergani and the Premio Maria Luigia, Duchessa di Parma. She has also won six Glenfiddich awards and several Amercian awards. In 1999, Claudia Roden was granted a Prince Claus Award.
The Prince Claus Awards Committee wrote: ‘Claudia Roden (1936, Cairo, Egypt; currently based in the UK) is both the originator and the leading exponent of research into the culinary cultures of the Middle East and North Africa. She practices a form of culinary anthropology and history in which there is room both for the scientific approach and for the personal experience of chefs, consumers and herself. She creates a space for the culinairy culture within the cultural heritage of the Mediterranean region from which she comes.’
Hanneke Groenteman
Hanneke Groenteman (1939) worked from 1962 to 1973 for newspaper the Parool. She presented various VARA radio programs and for VPRO television she presented De Plantage, the arts program on Sunday afternoons and the NPS program Books on Sunday. The first book by Hanneke Groenteman, Doorzakken bij Jamin (2003), about the role that food plays in her life and how she deals with it, was a great success. More than 75,000 copies sold and in 2007 an audio book edition, read by the author, was published. She continued to explore the theme of eating and the body in among other The fat lady (2006), in which she describes the life of Henk van Beurden, who as "fat lady" performed at fun fairs throughout the country. What motivated him from his adolescence on to dress like a woman and present himself as a curiosity at fairs? Again Groenteman analyses the dilemmas surrounding food and fat, and she interweaves beautiful memories of the Fat Ladies and her own experiences, her shame and her desires.

Exhibition Judaism: A World of Stories in De Nieuwe Kerk
Judaism: A World of Stories 17 December 2011 – 15 April 2012
In the winter of 2011-2012, De Nieuwe Kerk and the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam present an exhibition about Judaism. With more than five hundred objects on display, this exhibition will tell the fascinating story of three thousand years of Jewish religion, culture, art and history, the chronicle of a world religion that takes diverse international forms but has always held onto its identity. The exhibits will come from internationally renowned museums and private collections, and most of them will be on display in the Netherlands for the first time. The absolute highlights will include a first-century Dead Sea Scroll from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the oldest complete Torah scroll, originally from Erfurt and now at the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, valuable manuscripts, a painting by Chagall from the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the Alefbet Tapestry by the contemporary Russian-American artist Grisha Bruskin.
