Food and Faith by Susan Reuben and Sophie Pelham

Six children from six religious faiths –what do they eat?

Hot Cross BunThis book is crammed with photographs and text about six religious faiths and their practices. Each religion is colour coded and clearly laid out so that readers can identify with a particular religion. It focuses not only on specific religious practice but how food is used to celebrate special celebrations in one of the selected religions.
This is a really useful book, it not only showing the uniqueness of each religion, but also highlights the similarities between them all. An added bonus at the back is a recipe relating to each religion. A very accessible, informative, well presented read.
