Pining for the food of her childhood, Joudie Kalla would phone her mother daily, begging for the recipes of the Palestinian dishes she had been fed as a child in the UK. is the result of those homesick feelings, a deeply personal culinary and cultural tour of her Middle Eastern roots. Here she shares recipes for traditional dishes (Tabbouleh-Spiced Vine Leaves, Za’atar Chicken, Honey Dumplings) and her modern interpretations (Salmon Tartare with Bulgur, Chili & Garlic, Lemon & Rose Doughnuts).
