30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASEFrench-Palestinian chef Fadi Kattan pays homage to the hidden parts of Bethlehem, his home, evoking the colors and smells of the markets and spice shops, introducing readers to the local farmers and artisans with whom he works to find the perfect ingredients, and sharing his love of culinary experimentation. Fadi's inspiration comes from these food artisans, who grow grapes, grind wheat, make olive oil, and most importantly, pass on food knowledge for generations.
His loving portrayals of these people are accompanied by his own recipes, some of which are handed down, some from his restaurants in Bethlehem and London. Learn to stuff grape leaves with Nabulsi cheese, slow-roast lamb seasoned with fenugreek and cardamom, roll labaneh in nigella seeds and make Mouhalabieh, a milky pudding flavored with mastic and pistachios. Bright and bold flavors and the stories of their origins await readers in Bethlehem.
Amid growing chaos and strife, these stories, recipes, and the legacy of the ancient city of Bethlehem endure.
