Description

By a James Beard Outstanding Chef (2017)
James Beard Book of the Year and Best International Cookbook (2016)


The James Beard Award–winning chef and co-owner of Philadelphia’s Zahav restaurant reinterprets the glorious cuisine of Israel for American home kitchens.

Ever since he opened Zahav in 2008, chef Michael Solomonov has been turning heads along with his original interpretations of brand new Israeli cuisine, attracting notice from the New York Times, Bon Appétit, (“an utter and total revelation”), and Eater (“Zahav defines Israeli cooking in The usa”). 

Zahav showcases the melting-pot cooking of Israel, especially the influences of the Middle East, North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Eastern Europe. Solomonov’s food includes little dishes referred to as mezze, such as the restaurant’s insanely popular fried cauliflower; a hummus so ethereal that it put Zahav at the culinary map; and a pink lentil soup with lamb meatballs that one critic referred to as “Jerusalem in a bowl.”  It is also a majestic dome of Persian wedding rice and a complete roasted lamb shoulder with pomegranate and chickpeas that is a celebration in itself. All Solomonov’s dishes are brilliantly adapted to local and seasonal ingredients. 

Zahav tells an authoritative and personal story of how Solomonov embraced the food of his birthplace. With its blend of technique and passion, this book shows readers methods to make his food their very own.
