Amidst the olive groves of Jerusalem, the pulsating spice markets of Nazareth and the vineyards of Bethlehem, travel writer and cook Yasmin Khan falls in love with the flavours and fragrances of modern Palestine. Palestinian food is simple, seasonal and predominantly plant-based, bursting with a freshness and brightness that is characteristic of all Levantine cooking. It has evolved over several millennia, through the influences of Arabic, Jewish, Armenian, Persian, Turkish and Bedouin cultures and civilisations that have ruled over, or lived in, the area known as ancient Palestine. From the colourful array of mezze dishes that make use of the region's bountiful aubergines, peppers, artichokes and green beans; to slow-cooked stews of chicken and lamb flavoured with Palestinian barahat spice blends; to the masterful marriage of citrusy local extra virgin olive oil with earthy za'atar, served in small bowls to accompany toasted breads, Palestinian food rejoices in satisfying all the senses.

Yasmin's journey takes her from the sun-kissed pomegranate stalls of Akka, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, via evergreen oases of date plantations in the Jordan Valley, to the fading fish markets of Gaza city. In each place she visits, Yasmin enters the homes and kitchens of Palestinians of all ages and backgrounds, discovering the secrets of their ancient cuisine and sharing heart-lifting stories. Featuring more than 80 modern recipes that are all fully accessible to the home cook, Zaitoun reveals and revels in the delights of the Palestinian kitchen.

Review

A big bowl-full of delicious Palestinian recipes, plus lots of insightful and moving stories... Great stuff -- Yotam Ottolenghi

This is a politically engaged and hungry travelogue, and it is also an inspirational recipe book, and one that anyone who loves food will want to cook from, will need to cook from -- Nigella Lawson

Yasmin Khan draws on her vast experience as a storyteller, cook, human rights activist, itinerant traveller and writer to create a moving, empathetic, hugely knowledgeable and utterly delicious book. Her essays, this food and these photographs give voice to the generous Palestinian people who welcomed her into their homes, to teach and share recipes from a cuisine that has both adapted and endured through decades of diaspora and political strife. The food you'll cook using her recipes is fresh, bright, simple, colorful and deeply satisfying; the stories you'll read will deepen your understanding of an all-too-often misunderstood place and culture -- Anthony Bourdain

A zingingly evocative collection of personal stories and 80 recipes from Palestinian kitchens. Calling it a cookbook does it a disservice. Zaitoun deserves to be read as much as cooked from ― Observer Food Monthly

Yasmin Khan’s beautiful Palestinian recipes are written with passion ― Guardian

Yasmin Khan’s Zaitoun gives a fine account of Palestinian cooking, with a culinary tour of the region. She does justice to the traditional kitchen while offering her own take on several recipes ― Evening Standard

A joyous celebration of Palestinian cuisine... Proof, if ever it was needed, that food has the innate power to unite us ― The Independent

Personal and well researched, with a strong voice, appealing recipes and beautiful photography: what good food writing is all about ― Delicious

In Zaitoun, Khan has created a beautiful book - as much a piece of travel writing as it is a recipe book - that illustrates the importance of food in shaping identity, while providing plenty of inspiration for an abundant feast ― The Caterer

Human rights campaigner-turned-recipe collector Yasmin Khan's new book, Zaitoun, celebrates the rich tradition of Palestinian cooking, and a food culture brimming with joy ― Food & Travel

A love letter to Palestinian cuisine ― Natural Health magazine

A cook book with a mission… Yasmin Khan eloquently introduces the political context of the food by region ― The Teacher

A heart-warming collection of home cooking and evocative travel writing ― Waitrose Weekend

Zaitoun is packed with stories of Palestinian cooks and food culture, of hospitality in the face of adversity ― Observer Food Monthly

Beautifully produced... sure to repeat the success of Khan’s first award-winning book, The Saffron Tales ― Guardian

In Zaitoun [Khan] noses gently into the culinary spaces of Palestinians, at all times infusing her writing and recipes with political awareness and sensitivity -- i paper

In her beautiful book Zaitoun [...} you'll find fragrant, flavour-packed recipes ― Stylist Published On: 2020-01-01

Amazing, Tasty and Inspiring

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2018

Verified Purchase

I have never written a review before but this book hands down deserves one. As someone who enjoys to cook I do not often spend money on recipe books as I think it is silly to spend £20 or so pounds on a book from which you will find one or two recipes which you will make repeatedly and prefer, most of the time to simply find new things to try out online. This book though is a whole other story.

Middle Eastern food is a cuisine which I enjoy anyway but this book has provided some really eye opening recipes as well as beautiful extracts of the authors travels in Palestine and the history of the dishes and the people who make them. We have tried five or six recipes now and all of them have been DELICIOUS. We mostly eat vegetarian/vegan and this book caters for that brilliantly as well as offering some meaty options. Even my sister who is a pretty fussy eater and tends to enjoy plainer food has liked all of the dishes we have made - a sure sign that this book is quality! The hummus recipe is OUT OF THIS WORLD and I eat it by the spoonful. I have had to go out and buy some special ingredients such as pomegranate molasses and sumac but my gosh has it been worth it. The only recipe which did not win all out praise was the little date cookies but that was due only to the fact that they were heavily rosy which is not a flavour that we all love however, my mum who does like it, loved them and I can't wait to try out more of the sweeter dishes.

I cannot sing this books praises enough - if you are looking for some new cooking inspiration please try this book! It will liven up your dinner times and introduce you to a beautiful new world of flavours!

What a beautiful cookbook and the stories are so heartfelt, as a Palestinian I am so proud to see our food represented so beautifully and although I haven’t tried all the recipes yet I can tell from the traditional ones that they are spot on!

Interesting and delightful book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this book on the bases of the author's last book which has some very tasty recipes in it, l have cooked from that book many times and many of her recipes have now become part of my repertoire. I have not cooked anything from her new book yet (as l have just purchased it today) but l am positive that the recipes will be equally delightful. Not only is this a cookbook but a very interesting insight into that part of the World. Fascinating reading and wonderful photography throughout. I highly recommend it.

Essential

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2018

Verified Purchase

This is really up there as one of the best cookbooks ever, in my opinion. The recipes are so wonderful and have revolutionised the way my family eats. The dishes we have made (especially the hummus which is worth its weight in gold) have been so vibrant and delicious. Even my daughter, who usually prefers plain foods, really enjoyed the aromatic and delicately spiced meals. This food really brings people together and celebrates under appreciated ingredients, all while being surprisingly straightforward to make. I really enjoyed following the authors stories of her travels which led to the recipes. I have learnt so much from this book- I cannot recommend it enough.

I absolutely love this book! It is beautifully written and presented. The recipes are easy to follow and taste amazing. I have found myself wanting to cook everything in here and the dishes I have done so far have been very popular with my family. I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone, especially those wanting to add something different to their weekly menu. Our family now has something Palestinian inspired on our menu every week!
