Review: Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi
THE chefs and authors of Ottolenghi, possibly the best cook book ever written, return to their native city of Jerusalem and the culinary roots that make their recipes so revolutionary.
Jewish Ottolenghi and Palestinian Tamimi didn’t meet until they came to the UK where their shared knowledge of tastes and flavours and their love of food blended to create the extraordinary dishes for which they are known.
This book draws on the history, culture, politics and geography of their heritage but it is the recipes – at once achievable and inspirational – that make it come alive.
