The Palestinian Table

A beautiful collection of Palestinian food filled with tradition, memory and love and woven together by the connections found in those same foods and dishes, Kassis has written more than a culturally specific cookbook, but a memoir of family through food. With background stories and snapshots for nearly all entries and with simple and clean photos of prepared dishes to vivid images from markets in Jerusalem, this “cookbook” is exceptional. I can't wait to try my hand at some labaneh, some kafta and tomato bake and Teta Asma's tabuleh.
