The Arab-Israeli Cookbook by Robin Soans, Claudia Roden

★★★★★  The publisher provided a copy for review. 
This book of stories, photos ,and food will warm your heart and fill your stomach. Lots of recipes from Middle Eastern culture in this award-winning cookbook. 

I like the photos of real people, interesting meals, and backdrops of friendship and neighborly relationships. In this season of war and conflicts, this book is a timely reminder that people are people. Whether someone in power is trying to disrupt, common decency brings us together around the table.

The recipes are organized by type and named for their creators. Made me smile - and hopeful that peace will be rebuilt and prevail through hospitality among Arabs and Israelis (and the rest of us, too.)
