    Jerusalem in London: Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s Diasporic World Harry Kashdan Mashriq & Mahjar: Journal of Middle East and North African Migration Studies, Volume 6, Number 2, 2019, (Article) Published by Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/778312/summary [ Access provided at 24 Sep 2021 01:02 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] Mashriq & Mahjar 6, no. 2 (2019) ISSN 2169-4435 Harry Kashdan JERUSALEM IN LONDON: YOTAM OTTOLENGHI AND SAMI TAMIMI’S DIASPORIC WORLD Abstract Prompted by the publishing phenomenon of Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s Jerusalem cookbook, this paper considers the discourse(s) of place elaborated by an emergent network of Middle Eastern chefs-in-diaspora. Focusing on Ottolenghi and Tamimi’s Jerusalem and Ottolenghi cookbooks, I argue that cookbooks can be productively analyzed as literary objects with an actor-network methodology. The particular story presented by Ottolenghi and Tamimi’s work is one in which distinctions are repeatedly raised and then dismissed in order to find common ground between Israel and Palestine. Ottolenghi may be an Israeli Sephardi Jew and Tamimi a Palestinian Muslim, but both men are London expatriates and restaurateurs. The literary dimensions of their cookbooks attempt to harmonize personal narratives with the commercial forces at play in cookbook publishing: peace sells better than conflict, and diasporic nostalgia never goes out of style. The first Ottolenghi deli opened in a narrow space in London’s Notting Hill neighborhood in 2002. Over the past decade and a half, the chain has grown to include two additional delis and a flagship restaurant, as well as NOPI, a more formal restaurant, all in central London.

Photo by Chaim Tzach/GPO. 2 Forewords Neil Wigan OBE HM Ambassador to Israel It is a pleasure to introduce this report on the Britain-Israel relationship, which I know is the result of careful work by the BICOM team. As British Ambassador to Israel, I have seen the vast potential for UK-Israeli collaborations. Our two countries complement each other’s strengths. Return- ing to Israel after leaving in 2006, I am struck by how much deeper our co-op- eration is. Travelling round Israel since I arrived has brought home the breadth and depth of the relationship. I am delighted that BICOM’s report sets out that progress, across fields including trade, technology, security and culture. There is potential to do even more, including after Brexit. Trade is already over $10bn, and the UK is Israel’s biggest trade partner in Europe. High tech collab- oration is thriving, to the benefit of both sides. We are ambitious about scientific and academic collaboration, where current work highlights untapped potential. The security relationship has grown exponentially since I was last here. The visit of HRH Prince Charles to the Auschwitz liberation commemoration event in January 2020 highlights the depth of our connection.
