Review
"In a devastating time for Palestinians, as a violent assault pushes surviving Gazans to the brink of famine and impacts life for those in the West Bank every day, Kattan's book aims to bring Bethlehem into people’s kitchens to preserve the traditions, culture, and flavors of Palestine well beyond the region."―Anastasia Miari, Condé Nast Traveler
"The book is an entirely collaborative object. Inside, where the contents are organized by season, Elias Halabi’s expansive photographs show us lush natural landscapes throughout the occupied territories of the author’s homeland, while Ashley Lima’s saturated images of plated dishes are prompts to 'eat this now.' Kattan has included visual and written portraits of farmers, purveyors, and cooks who are each an integral part of his culinary network, along with those of his own family members, living and dead, who have also provided inspiration for numerous recipes shared within these pages." ―Charlotte Druckman, Eater
"Augmented with beautiful photos, this ode to Palestinian culinary culture stuns."―Publishers Weekly
"Fadi Kattan’s book is part recipe tome, part memoir, and part travel guide to his home city of Bethlehem. Between recipes from Kattan’s favorite local restaurants and family heritage, you’ll find lively profiles of the people who make his city the food capital it is."―Lizzy Briskin, The Quality Edit
"Bethlehem: A Celebration of Palestinian Food (Hardie Grant) showcases the flavours, artisans and terroir of the West Bank city that Kattan calls home."―Ajesh Patalay, Financial Times
"Bethlehem: A Celebration of Palestinian Food – is dedicated to preserving part of a culture that's been torn apart by decades of displacement and war. It's a love letter through food to [Kattan's] childhood home in the West Bank." ―Morning Edition, NPR
"The immense love and pride that restaurateur Kattan feels for his native city shines through on every page of this elegant collection. Appealing and approachable traditional recipes are studded with moving portraits of Bethlehem locals, including a vendor Kattan dubs the Queen of Herbs and members of his own extended family."―Publishers Weekly
"This stunning volume reminds us that culinary history needs to be recorded and shared. A deeply personal book that focuses on the beautiful food of Palestine organized by seasons: fig jam, aubergines roasted with tahinia, lentil soup with cumin and turmeric, and dibs and tahinia shortbread. Essays featuring great home cooks, olive oil production, and other local, seasonal foods of Palestine make this a very readable book."―Kathy Gunst, WBUR

Thank you for these beautiful pictures, recipes and all of the history you shared.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Necessary Addition to Your Kitchen!
Recipes are simple yet versatile and taste complex (loving this as someone newer to cooking in general), my husband who’s the chef of the house has also unexpectedly taken up with this book! It’s absolutely gorgeous, has snippets of cultural insights, and most importantly- we’ve tried 4 recipes from this book so far and are yet to find one we don’t like (including our toddler)!
5.0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful cookbook on the subject
Just launched today, this is one of the most beautiful cookbooks on the subject I've come across. It's a true feast to the palate and eyes. The photography is fantastic and evokes a certain nostalgia. The recipe collection is just as awesome. I can't wait to cook from it. Meanwhile, I'm absorbed into the beauty of its pages, stories and recipes. Palestinian food is very much alive no matter where in the world you may be.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful cookbook!
I bought this immediately after seeing it on Nigella Lawson’s Instagram and could not be more pleased with it. I don’t buy many cookbooks, at all, and never on release day but something really drew me to this. It’s so beautifully written and the pictures are stunning, so much so that it is actually inspiring me to try a few recipes rather than stick it on a table or bookshelf as a piece of decor. I love Palestinian food, and can’t wait to try some recipes soon.
5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, beautiful
Wow, absolutely in love with our new cookbook. It’s beautiful, the recipes are incredible and the storytelling is very heartwarming. He invites you in to Palestinian life and culture in an authentic way. Makes me want to go to Bethlehem and give everyone a hug. This will be the best gift. Well done! New favorite cookbook!
5.0 out of 5 stars So glad I bought this!
Fadi Kattan's love for his homeland and all of Palestine shines through this beautiful book full of sights, delectable food, and the wonderful people he credits with inspiring him to be a great chef! Calling it a celebration of Palestinian food is an understatement. I haven't even gotten through the first section and I'm wishing I was there to see the places he shows and describes! Inshallah! Yalla Free Palestine! 💖 🙏✌
5.0 out of 5 stars What’s Not to Love?!
