Middle Eastern cookbook

[Anonymous]

Can anyone recommend a Middle Eastern cookbook? Israeli-ish I guess. I’m aware of Yotam Ottolenghi but even his simpler recipes I find to be more involved than I’d prefer. I love all the food at Tatte. So something more along those classic-ish lines I guess. TIA.

There is a reason why delicious food is not terribly accessible. Simple will rarely get you the results you desire. It’s why when I make hummus I take pains to peel every single skin off my freshly cooked chickpeas and use toum instead of garlic cloves.

Yasmin Khan's Zaitoun, which showcases Palestinian cuisine, is excellent. By and large, the recipes are simpler than Jerusalem or Ottolenghi's other cookbooks.

I have one by Claudia Roden (I think I spelled that right).
