A collection of 120 recipes exploring the flavors of Jerusalem from the New York Times bestselling author of Plenty , one of the most lauded cookbooks of 2011. In Jerusalem , Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi explore the vibrant cuisine of their home city--with its diverse Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities. Both men were born in Jerusalem in the same year--Tamimi on the Arab east side and Ottolenghi in the Jewish west. This stunning cookbook offers 120 recipes from their unique cross-cultural perspective, from inventive vegetable dishes to sweet, rich desserts. With five bustling restaurants in London and two stellar cookbooks, Ottolenghi is one of the most respected chefs in the world; in Jerusalem, he and Tamimi have collaborated to produce their most personal cookbook yet.
If you love middle eastern flavors, you will love this cookbook. I lived in Beirut, Lebanon for 5 years over 30 years ago and travelled widely during that time. These recipes and photos took me right back to that happy time: all the wonderful meals we ate with friends and colleagues, with bottle after bottle of their wonderful beer.
The book I purchased is a brand new, hardback version, with numerous photos of plates of gorgeous food. The recipes are well described and written in an easy-to-follow “home town” style. The only word of caution: some of the recipes take quite a bit of time, not because they are difficult, but because of time it takes to chop all the fresh herbs and numerous vegetables. But many are simple and easy to make, especially the snacking types. What a joy it is to make these recipes now. Most of the unique ingredients can be found on Amazon, who ships them Fresh! The ones that cannot be found on Amazon, can be found in specialty stores in large cities in the USA. ENJOY and “mabrouq”.
