Jerusalem Food Summary

Jerusalem Food: Bold Flavors from the Middle East and Beyond by Nidal Kersh

Taste Jerusalem's multicultural flavors in dishes that showcase the region's incomparable bounty, from hummus and chopped vegetable salads to fresh breads, shawarma, and baklava. The city has always been a meeting place and a melting pot for many different cultures. It is home to dishes from North Africa, Southern Europe and neighbouring countries to the south and the east, as well as Eastern Europe and Russia. Jerusalem proves that food knows no boundaries. Here you'll find a mix of dishes, such as fattoush, schnitzel, kebabs, hummus and falafel, along with other classics like mana'ish, shawarma and baba ganouj. And, of course, there are simple but timeless pairings, like olives and Greek yogurt, with lots of za'atar and olive oil, and recipes for a variety of delicious breads and savoury vegetable, meat and fish dishes.

Jerusalem Food Reviews

. . . a handy roundup of quintessential Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes with a few eccentricities thrown in. Kersh, who introduced falafel to Stockholm with his restaurant Falafelbaren, was raised in Sweden and his paternal grandparents were Palestinian. He provides insight into the politics of food, including the Israeli-Palestinian debate over the origins of hummus, and shares recipes for classic hummus, as well as for a chunkier version called msbaha. A chapter entitled Meat and Fish contains mainly chicken entrees and only two fish options, but there is a comforting lamb shawarma, as well as pan-fried lamb kebabs. As an alternative to a traditional falafel, Kersh serves up a Swedish version with yellow peas replacing chickpeas and wild garlic in lieu of coriander. The port city of Akko, Israel, where Kersh spent time in his youth, is the source of his Turkish salad, salata turki, as well as sayadiehseabass and rice with a pinch of saffron. . . . the recipes themselves are certainly enticing.
