Overview
āTruly, one of the best cookbooks of the year so far.āāBon AppĆ©tit
The story of Palestineās food is really the story of its people. When the events of 1948 forced residents from all regions of Palestine together into one compressed land, recipes that were once closely guarded family secrets were shared and passed between different groups in an effort to ensure that they were not lost forever.Ā
InĀ FalastinĀ (pronounced āfa-la-steenā), Sami Tamimi retraces the lineage and evolution of his countryās cuisine, born of its agriculturally optimal geography, its distinct culinary traditions, and Palestinian cooksā ingenuity and resourcefulness. Tamimi covers the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan RiverāEast Jerusalem and the West Bank, up north to the Galilee and the coastal cities of Haifa and Akka, inland to Nazareth, and then south to Hebron and the coastal Gaza Stripārecounting his upbringing with eleven siblings and his decision to leave home at seventeen to cook in West Jerusalem, where he met and first worked with Yotam Ottolenghi.Ā
From refugee-camp cooks to the home kitchens of Gaza and the mill of a master tahini maker, Tamimi teases out the vestiges of an ancient culinary tradition as he records the derivations of a dynamic cuisine and people in more than 130 transporting photographs and 120 recipes, including:
ā¢Ā Hassanās Easy Eggs with Zaāatar and Lemon
ā¢Ā Fish Kofta with Yogurt, Sumac, and Chile
ā¢Ā Pulled-Lamb Schwarma Sandwich
ā¢ Labneh Cheesecake with Roasted Apricots, Honey, and Cardamom
Named after the Palestinian newspaper that brought together a diverse people,Ā FalastinĀ is a vision of a cuisine, a culture, and a way of life as experienced by one influential chef.
