The delicious, easy-to-follow recipes represent all of these influences, and include some creative interpretations of classics by celebrated Israeli chefs- Beetroot and Pomegranate Salad, Fish Falafel in Spicy Harissa Mayonnaise, Homemade Shawarma, Chreime-North African Hot Fish Stew, Roasted Chicken Drumsticks in Carob Syrup. With favorite recipes for the Sabbath (Sweet Challah Traditional Chopped Liver, Chocolate and Halva Coffeecake) and for holidays (Balkan Potato and Leek Pancakes, Flourless Chocolate and Pistachio Cake), this book offers a unique culinary experience for every occasion. All of this is enriched by Paz's gorgeous and vibrantly colored photographs and by short narratives about significant aspects of Israel's diverse cuisine, such as the generous and unique Israeli breakfast (which grew out of the needs of Kibbutz life), locally produced cheeses that now rival those of Europe, and a dramatic renaissance of wine culture in this ancient land.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"In less than thirty years,\" Janna Gur writes, \"Israeli society has graduated... to a true gastronomic haven.\" Here she gives us a book that does full, delectable justice to the significance of Israeli food today-Mediterranean at its heart, richly spiced, and imbued with cross-cultural flavors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49534782898449,"sku":"GOR006577002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49924073685265,"sku":"CIN0805212248G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51601019371793,"sku":"CIN0805212248VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52109559300369,"sku":"GOR011808476","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0805212248.jpg?v=1751329597"},{"product_id":"jewish-soul-food-book-janna-gur-9780805243086","title":"Jewish Soul Food","description":"Over thousands of years, Jews all over the world developed cuisines not only suited to their needs (kashrut, holidays, Shabbat) but also reflecting the influences of their neighbors and carrying memories from their past wanderings. These cuisines may now be on the verge of extinction, however, because practically none the Jewish communities in which these cuisines developed and thrived exist anymore. The only place all of these cuisines are still functional is Israel, where there are still a few first-generation cooks that know and love these dishes. Israel is, in a sense, a living laboratory of this beloved and endangered Jewish food; the 100 diversely flavored recipes here-from Jerusalem's surprising, sweet kugel flavored with pepper to Bukharan's hearty Ushapualau, a wondrous stew of beef, chickpeas, and carrots-were not chosen by an editor or a chef so much as by what Janna Gur calls \"natural selection.\" These are the dishes that, though rooted in their original provenance, have been embraced by Israelis from throughout the Diaspora and have become part of Israel's culinary landscape. Aimed to educate and delight the grandchildren and even great-grandchildren of those who carried their cuisines on journeys far from their orginal homes, \u003ci\u003eJewish Soul Food\u003c\/i\u003e proceeds from the premise that the only way to preserve traditional cuisine is to cook it. The book offers all cooks the \"greatest hits\" from a fascinating food culture-a chance to enrich their cooking repertoire and at the same time help to preserve a valuable part of Jewish heritage and its collective \"soul.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (With full-color photographs throughout.)","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50024519205137,"sku":"CIN0805243089G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50307191865617,"sku":"GOR009493662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51170919317777,"sku":"GOR014191355","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0805243089.jpg?v=1751436913"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-janna-gur.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
