Best New Cookbooks: Spring 2022 | Eater

"An Oakland Arab bakery founded in 2017 and since expanded to two locations, rooted in Palestinian and Syrian family traditions and linked to a baker-author’s broader work on identity and food. The bakery and its related cookbook foreground recipes and techniques from across the Arab world — from khaliat nahal (Yemeni honeycomb bread stuffed with cheese, sesame, and syrup) to Palestinian maqlouba — while using stories, ingredient sidebars, and historical context to challenge monolithic views of regional cuisine and invite readers to cook with greater awareness." - Eater Staff
