Jerusalem is filled with delicious recipes that one would find in this ancient yet modern city. It was very interesting to see the mix of dishes and ingredients. Never having been to Jerusalem, it was hard for me to relate to the recipes. Yes, they are intriguing, but I don't see myself deciding to make one for dinner. Now let's say I want to have a little adventure in the kitchen. Well, then I would happily turn to this book and have a go at some of the dishes. Beautiful photos, interesting recipes, but not my kind of cooking.

Very good, definitely better than Ottolenghi's earlier book. Yes, he still faffs too much and uses 15 ingredients where merely 12 would do, but the real bugbear is bit of a tokenism toward Palestinians and Sami Tamim. But hey...

This. This is what a cookbook should be.
Beyond delectable recipes, beyond transcendent pictures, this book delves into what the food means. The history, cultural development, and personal anecdotes are all the more meaningful given the authors are Arab and Jewish.
Can it be so bold as to hope that a shared meal can broker common ground in the Middle East? Sure, but it's the sense I get from this book. And hope needs to be fed, too.

There are several things in here I would make but more excited to flip through the vegetarian book! Great photos and thorough recipes. Nice.

This cookbook pops off the page. It's beautiful. I wanted to make everything. We had a cookbook club and my friends' dishes were also yummy. Mine, I felt, didn't come out as delicious. Good, but not, oh my I want to make that again! If anything, I thought my version came out a bit better when I've made that sort of dish before (Kale fritters). That's the only reason for the 4. I would definitely check this book out again.
