Zaytoun Zaitoun Cookbook. 'A moving, hugely knowledgeable and utterly delicious book'. Anthony Bourdain. New cookbook, Zaitoun, is filled with delicious recipes using maftoul, freekeh, za�atar, almonds, Medjoul dates and olive oil. And with the same name � Zaytoun and Zaitoun are different spellings of olive in Arabic. Yasmin Khan shares recipes and stories from her travels through the region. On her journey she harvests black olives from the groves of Burquin in the West Bank, hand-rolls maftoul in home kitchens in Jenin and even finds time to enjoy a pint with workers at the Taybeh brewery, which is producing the first Palestinian craft beer. As she feasts and cooks with Palestinians of all ages and backgrounds, she learns about the realities of their everyday lives.
Zaitoun includes herb-filled salads, quick pickles, fragrant soups, tender roasted meats and rich desserts, and has a special focus on vegetarian versions of Palestinian classics. It has recipes for olive, fig and honey tapenade, roast chicken stuffed with pine nuts and raisins, and pomegranate passion cake, among many others. And surrounding the recipes, there is a chorus of stories from those who love, live and cook with Palestine in their hearts.
