Yotam Ottolenghi and his business partner and close friendSami Tamimi
is his most iconic and important work to date.
This book is not merely a collection of recipes, but a globally acclaimed exploration of the food culture of a city with a complex history, told from a personal perspective.
The two were born in Jerusalem in 1966, with Yotam growing up in the Jewish West and Sami in the Arab (Palestinian) East. Meeting in London 30 years later, they created a work akin to a homecoming, rediscovering the culinary identity of their shared birthplace, Jerusalem.
It features 120 recipes from Jerusalem, where diverse cultures—including Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and Armenian communities—intertwine.
Since its publication in 2012, it has continued to have a major impact on modern food culture, including being named one of the New York Times' 25 most influential cookbooks of the past century.
