In this highly original study, Veronika Grimm discusses early Christian texts dealing with food, eating and fasting. Modern day eating disorders often equate food with sin and see fasting as an attempt to regain purity, an attitude which can also be observed in early Christian beliefs in the mortification of the flesh. Describing first the historical and social context of Judaism and the Graeco-Roman world, the author then proceeds to analyse Christian attitudes towards food. Descriptions of food found in the Pauline Epistles, the Acts of the Apostles, Tertullian or Augustine are compared to contemporary Jewish or Graeco-Roman pagan texts. Thus a particular Christian mode of fasting is elaborated which influences us to the present day; ascetic fasting for the suppression of the sexual urges of the body.

Lodge's electrostatic spray system applies a proprietary vegetable oil combination to deeply penetrate the pores of the iron. The result?

Chef's Knives - Absolutely essential for every kitchen, the chef's knife can be used for virtually any cutting job. The slightly curved, rigid blade facilitates both the rocking motion that most professionals use in chopping, and a higher-impact approach for heavy, dense foods. 8": A versatile, all-around size, comfortable for the cook with average-size hands. Its medium weight and length make it almost universally easy to use for anything from chopping onions to slicing eggplant. 10": This larger, heavier knife is typically preferred by culinary professionals, who let the weight do the work. Ideal for large produce, such as melon or butternut squash, or for cutting a whole chicken into serving pieces. Four Star is a great introduction to the world of forged German cutlery. The blade is high-carbon stainless steel, and Henckels' unique ice-hardening process and advanced metal-alloy technology keep the edge sharper longer, with a consistent angle and superb corrosion-resistance. The handle i - Specifications 6" Chef's Knife Size: 6"L blade (11 1/4"L w/handle) x 1 1/2"W blade Weight: 6.1 oz. 8" Chef's Knife Size: 8"L blade (13"L w/handle) x 1 3/4"W blade Weight: 6.8 oz. 10" Chef's Knife Size: 10"L blade (15 1/4"L w/handle) x 1 3/4"W blade Weight: 7.9 oz.
