Israel Eats is a delicious compilation of stories, recipes, and stunning photographs of Israel's food culture. It's a gorgeous coffee table book and one of my new favorite cookbooks., Steven's passion for all that is edible and beautiful is infectious and it comes through in his first book. Inspired by the sights and people and produce of Israel, and the cheeses and orchards and cows and history and passion of Israel, Rothfeld presents a slice of life well lived--a heady mix of cultures that share a love of and dedication to unforgettable food., Written and photographed by Steven Rothfeld...the book's approach is more cinema-graphic with sweeping landscapes, captivating portraits, and some very cool recipes. Rothfeld's stunning photos tell part of the story; the choice of subjects, recipes, and personal essays fill the rest. The writing is beautiful, with a refreshing of-the-moment quality. You will feel like you are there, indulging, and making gastronomic sense of everything around you. Abundance in the desert. Passion on the plate. Rothfeld's Israel Eats far exceeds expectations., Israel Eats will inspire cooks to create. It will also encourage everyone to visit Israel to experience a vibrant culture and delicious food firsthand., Rothfeld's Israel Eats (the culmination of multiple long-term visits) is not your typical cookbook. More than just recipes and musings on freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, marbled halvah, and dates from the Dead Sea (though we're totally behind all of that), his portraits and essays say as much about a culture, people and place as they do food. Regional dishes may be the book's bread and butter, but ultimately, Rothfeld works to cast a new light on Israel - one that isn't focused on the damaged and dangerous reputation the country's media portrayal has garnered., Renowned photographer Steven Rothfeld's stunning new book Israel Eats takes you through Israel's rich and troubled past through the land, people, flavors, and food. This half travel guide half culinary tour is both a history lesson and a recipe book. Follow along with Rothfeld through the markets, farms, and restaurants of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, a beautiful city on the Israeli coast, Jerusalem, and more. Thoughtful narrative weaves flawlessly between the beautifully taken photographs and easy to follow recipes..., In between photographs of the sweeping landscape, portraits, and bright dishes, there is a wide range of recipes (from Fattoush Salad to Zahara to Stuffed Cabbage Cake); alongside Rothfeld's stories of his time spent in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, The North, The South, and Jerusalem. Rothfeld's descriptions of the people, flavors, land, and Israel's rich and jaded past, make Israel Eats a welcome and refreshing take on the travel cookbook. A great addition for any Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food lover and cook.
