  • SAVEUR, and Every Month We Share Our Favorite New Releases—Books That, Through One Avenue of Greatness Or Another, Have Earned a Place on Our Over-Stuffed Shelves
    Mar 6, 2014 Books Worth Buying: February and March's Best Food and Drink Releases The monthly guide to our favorite new cookbook releases We get dozens of cookbooks each week at SAVEUR, and every month we share our favorite new releases—books that, through one avenue of greatness or another, have earned a place on our over-stuffed shelves. This time, those books that piqued our interest came from all over the world —the Middle East, Myanmar, Paris, the American Credit: Laura Sant South—and covered a variety of recipes, from Palestinian mezze to cooking candy. OLIVES, LEMONS & ZA’ATAR: THE BEST MIDDLE EASTERN HOME COOKING (HTTP://WWW.AMAZON.COM/GP/PRODUCT/1906868840/REF=AS_LI_SS_TL? IE=UTF8&CAMP=1789&CREATIVE=390957&CREATIVEASIN=1906868840&LINKCODE=AS2&TAG=SAVEUR-20) by Rawia Bishara I have long been a fan of Tanoreen, Rawia Bishara’s Palestinian restaurant tucked away in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, where her inventive mezze, like fried Brussels sprouts drizzled with fresh tahini and pomegranate seeds and eggplant napoleons slathered in babaganoush cream, make the forty-five minute trek from Manhattan well worthwhile. So, I was thrilled when I finally got my hands on her cookbook, and the secrets behind the delectable dishes I’d eaten at her restaurant. The recipes for my favorites turned out to be shockingly easy, 5-ingredient affairs, and as I flipped through the pages of mouthwatering photographs and lovely asides about local culinary folklore and her own food memories, I also discovered simplified recipes for many Palestinian classics. For example, her recipe for Musakhan, a complicated festival dish of sumac-rubbed roast chicken served on rounds of fresh-baked taboon bread, is transformed from weekend project to weeknight meal with a simple pizza-like flatbread recipe and smart substitutions like quick sautéed boneless chicken breast.
