Kanaan - das israelisch-palästinensische Kochbuch

Peace on the Plate. An Israeli and a Palestinian cook together in their joint restaurant. A drag queen serves food and drinks there. A belly dancer transports guests to another world. All of this is possible at Restaurant Kanaan in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg. While the political situation in the Middle East remains tense, we see that peace and cooperation are possible. The two restaurant operators demonstrate that cooking and eating connect people and that the influences in their cuisine come from many countries. Oz Ben David and Jalil Dabit, together with renowned photographer Elissavet Patrikiou, show that understanding between nations can actually be quite simple. Over hummus and shakshuka, people come together who might not otherwise meet. The authors share background stories about the dishes from their homeland and exemplify how much they have in common. Features: 100 color illustrations.
