This study is an investigation of the reception of the Bible in a particular type of cookbook, namely the Bible cookbook. A Bible cookbook is a collection of recipes based on and drawing inspiration from the Bible. I divide Bible cookbooks into two main groups, the educational and the ethical. First, I turn to educational Bible cookbooks and their application of the Bible, exemplified by a close reading of two biblical stories on food, Abraham and Sarah’s visitors in Genesis 18 and Jacob’s lentils in Genesis 25. A reflection on how this genre and its reception of the Bible fit in with the genres of biblical retellings, fan fiction, and celebrity cookbooks will follow. Secondly, I present some examples of ethical Bible cookbooks and illustrate their way of using biblical texts. The reception of the Bible that takes place in both educational and ethical Bible cookbooks is influenced by what I call the recipe genre’s food fiction, that is, the experience of kitchen, community, and essence conveyed through the literature. Food fiction comes into play when the Bible is retold and adapted in cookbooks and recipes. It helps make Bible stories and characters relevant in a way that other forms of biblical retelling cannot. Thus, Bible cookbooks are an interesting example of how the central importance of food and meals in society spreads to literature, giving the reader the opportunity to join God in the kitchen.
