Product Information
A dazzling cookbook with vibrant recipes, captivating stories and stunning photography from Palestine 'A moving, hugely knowledgeable and utterly delicious book' Anthony Bourdain 'A big bowl-full of delicious Palestinian recipes, plus lots of insightful and moving stories... Great stuff' Yotam Ottolenghi 'A zingingly evocative collection of personal stories... Calling it a cookbook does it a disservice. Zaitoun deserves to be read as much as cooked from' Observer Food Monthly Bursting with the freshness and brightness that is characteristic of all Levantine cuisine, Palestinian food is fragrant, healthy and delicious. From a colourful array of bountiful mezze dishes to rich slow-cooked stews flavoured with aromatic spice blends, it's a cuisine that represents the very best of modern Middle Eastern cookery. In this beautiful Palestinian cookbook, food writer Yasmin Khan shares recipes and stories from her travels through the region. On her journey she harvests black olives from the groves of Burquin in the West Bank, hand-rolls maftool - the plump Palestinian couscous - in home kitchens in Jenin and even finds time to enjoy a pint with workers at the Taybeh brewery, which is producing the first Palestinian craft beer. As she feasts and cooks with Palestinians of all ages and backgrounds, she learns about the realities of their everyday lives. Zaitoun includes herb-filled salads, quick pickles, fragrant soups, tender roasted meats and rich desserts, and has a special focus on vegetarian versions of Palestinian classics. It has recipes for olive, fig and honey tapenade, roast chicken stuffed with pine nuts and raisins, and pomegranate passion cake, among many others. And surrounding the recipes, there is a chorus of stories from those who love, live and cook with Palestine in their hearts.Product Identifiers

A good place to start!
It's a great read and has some lovely recipes - it's probably best as an intro to the cooking and history of the area as opposed to a book for someone with more experience of Middle Eastern cookery or knowledge of the area. Would make a lovely present.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The recipes taste better than the photos !
With so many recipes available on the Internet at the click of a mouse, why buy recipe books any more ? Zaitoun (and others in a similar vein) are why. The recipes are accessible (we just needed to by three ingredients not already in our larder : sumac, za'atar and unsweetened pomegranate molasses) and we were good to go. And they work, each one tastes like the photo on the page. Plus you get the story behind the people behind the food. Ours is already well-used, stained with grease and spices, so I guess it's a keeper and you'll have to find your own copy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
