Love the way the author connects the cuisine with culture. More than just your regular cookbook.

I LOVE this cookbook! And how could you not! If you’re a fan of Yotam Ottolenghi, you’ll enjoy this new, and uniquely different, set of recipes brought to you by Ottolenghi’s talented culinary team! Part story-telling, part recipe-sharing, part photo-journalism, this cookbook lays out what I would call, a beautiful and unique culinary experience. The authors do a fantastic job of transporting you right into the traditional kitchens of Palestine, both humble and yet, so expansive in their offerings. They share their stories of places traveled, people met, and food devoured. While a handful of traditional foods and recipes may be difficult to come by outside of Palestine, the authors have done a great job of providing substitutes and alternative methods where able. Many of the recipes are 2- or 3-part endeavors, however each component of every recipe is delicious when combined with the others, but can stand on its own just as well, providing some flexibility in terms of involvement. Moreover, each recipe contains tips on how to prep ahead, allergy substitutions, and food pairings. While some of the recipes included are quite traditional, prepared just as Sami’s mother made for him, others riff on the classics, providing a well-received playfulness and balance to the assortment of recipes. I’ve cooked several recipes from this so far, namely, the famous “Shatta”, “Butter rice with toasted vermicelli”, and “Spinach and toasted orzo with dill and chile yogurt.” All have been amazing and full of flavor! Please note: I’ve received a free copy from Ten Speed Press in exchange for a free and unbiased review. Though, if I hadn’t received this free copy, I would absolutely have purchased this book! Cheers!

Le ricette funzionano molto ben. Bel libro

A wonderful book to skim through or to read from cover to cover. Well laid out with enticing photographs and stories that make you want to cook everything, A super introduction to middle eastern cooking. Only one downside for Europeans: the English language version seems to have been made for the American market and so uses cups and degrees Farenheit.
