Bethlehem: Beautiful Resistance Recipes

Absolutely love this book! Flipped through the recipes really quick, every recipe my MIL has made since I’ve been around is in there. Haven’t had a chance to read the stories but I’m happy to support the author and his mission to give back to the refugee camp. They really are authentic. It’s awesome to have recipes I want without having to google search and they turn out different everytime. Also book was set to take over a month to get to me it came 2weeks early.

I bought several copies of this book as Christmas presents and have since had requests to buy 30 more ! It is a really beautifully produced book, with wonderful photographs, delicious recipes and uplifting stories. I can't recommend it enough. It will give you an insight into the lives of Palestinian people as well as an introduction to their delicious food. And the wonderful spirit of the Alrowaad community centre which it celebrates is really inspirational. Most of the dishes are easy to make and source ingredients for. Many are vegetarian / vegan and all I have tried so far have been delicious. This book is also beautifully presented and like the best cookbooks, it is a pleasure to return to again and again simply to enjoy the images and writing. My favourite cookbook !

Didnt cook from it yet but nicely done book with many recipes what I wanted to try

Beautifully written with amazing photography. If you’re after authentic traditional Palestinian cuisine, this book Is for you. The recipes are written in a way that’s easy to read and the stories from and about the camp and the West Bank just add an extra dimension to the dish when you cook and eat it. This isn’t just a cookery book, it’s also a travel and history one!
