If you liked Bethlehem, you will love Filasteen. Both are incredible books, written with depth and heart by incredible people. Heart breaking that these people, the Palestinians, are being so brutally exterminated and their culture erased by zionists.
I believe Fadi Kattan is also involved in Louf, a newly opened restaurant in Toronto. I’m looking forward to trying Louf this year. Thanks for sharing the eggplant recipe! I also want to try the recipes in Bethlehem.
I would love to make this recipe but I am reluctant about the peppers or chiles. What kind of chiles do this recipe calls for? I don’t like the idea of being too hot to eat.
I already have all the ingredients. Ready to cook this delicious looking Berengena or Aubergines aka Lamborghini 😂
A Bay Area Japanese chain store, Nijiya had Japanese eggplant, I made the dish last night. it's wonderful and easy to make. Another recipe readers might like - the Winter tabbouleh with blood orange from Falastin. I've completely gotten into all the vegetable chopping and it is so worth it.
Bless you for this! I'm half middle-eastern and the Aubergine recipe and reference to Fadi brought me so much comfort.
I’m so happy that this post brought you comfort. Thanks for reading

Do you mean Falastin by Sami Tammini? If so, I have owned that for many years. It’s also wonderful and have cooked from it a lot.
Sami makes the stories, the recipes and the food come alive. You can almost smell the oranges, the za’atar and the olive oil!
It’s incredibly evocative. The recipes are keepers too
Yes Hetty!!Sorry for the typo.
swooning over the eggplant...and perfect onigiri!!!
Hope you get to try both!
You will turn me into a vegetarian yet Hetty Liu, well maybe, I still love meat, but your recipes always inspire me… and they do get cooked.
I’m doing my best Sally 😂 but I’m so happy you clearly love vegetables and vegetarian food a lot too.
This looks amazing!

You are correct! I just saw something about this the other day and I was excited to see it. Thanks for the reminder Lisa!
Bethlehem is definitely one of my absolute favourites from 2024 as well, it’s an excellent book.
It’s so incredible. Beautiful in so many ways. So happy you enjoy it too.

This looks absolutely scrumptious! Thank you for posting it!
