Jerusalem - Yotam Ottolenghi / Sami Tamini

After Ottolenghi - The Cookbook and Plenty, Jerusalem is the third cookbook by bestselling author Yotam Ottolenghi. In over 120 recipes, Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi showcase the great culinary traditions of Jerusalem.

'The scents and flavors of this city are like our mother tongue. For us, they define comfort, excitement, joy, happiness. Everything we taste and cook is filtered through the prism of our childhood experiences: the meals our mothers made, the days we spent at the market, the goats and sheep that roamed the hills, the fresh pita with lamb mince, finely chopped parsley, smoked chops, black figs, sticky sweet pastries.'

Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi are the two men behind the successful London delis named Ottolenghi. Besides cooking, they share another passion: that for their hometown Jerusalem. Both men were born in the same year in this city, Sami on the Arab side, Yotam on the Jewish side. Almost thirty years later, they met in London and discovered that they shared their language, history, and love for good food.
