I’ve only had the chance to cook a few of the recipes from the book, but I’ve really enjoyed them. The authors were both born in Jerusalem (one in the Jewish West and one in the Arab East) and they offer recipes from each of the city’s ethnic groups including Iranian, Georgian, Palestinian and Sephardic Jews. The photographs of the food will make your stomach growl and the street scenes offer a glimpse of city life. Some of the ingredients are uncommon in the typical pantry, but once you try the dishes you’re sure to want them in your kitchen. Jerusalem: A Cookbook is available at Acorn and through SWAN. Leftovers are welcome!
