Art and food meet social activism in Michael Rakowitz’s inspiring new cookbook, ‘A House with a Date Palm Will Never Starve: Cooking with Date Syrup,’ in which forty-one noted international chefs, restauranteurs and food writers contribute recipes featuring the traditional Middle Eastern ingredient that also plays a key role in Rakowitz’s artwork, which can be seen in his current show at Jane Lombard, ‘The invisible enemy should not exist (Room F, section 1, Northwest Palace of Nimrud).’ “Food becomes very important in exile,” Claudia Roden writes. “Families hold on to their dishes for generations, long after they have cast off their traditional clothes, dropped their native language and stopped listening to their own forms of music. Michael’s family fled Iraq for the United States in 1947 as a result of riots and reprisals against Jews. He has used cooking as a way of celebrating the family’s origin and the harmony that once reigned between Jews and Muslims.” #michaelrakowitz @art_books_ @janelombardgallery #housewithadatepalm #datesyrup #cookbook https://www.instagram.com/p/B7MHjiIJjBH/?igshid=pm7bj4owbq7q

Art and food meet social activism in Michael Rakowitz’s inspiring new cookbook, ‘A House with a Date Palm Will Never Starve: Cooking with Date Syrup,’ in which 41 noted international chefs, restauranteurs and food writers contribute recipes featuring the traditional Middle Eastern ingredient that also plays a key role in Rakowitz’s artwork, including his iconic remake of the Lamassu for ‘The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist,’ currently on view on the Fourth Plinth in London’s Trafalgar Square. “Food becomes very important in exile,” Claudia Roden writes. “Families hold on to their dishes for generations, long after they have cast off their traditional clothes, dropped their native language and stopped listening to their own forms of music. Michael’s family fled Iraq for the United States in 1947 as a result of riots and reprisals against Jews. He has used cooking as a way of celebrating the family’s origin and the harmony that once reigned between Jews and Muslims.” Featured photograph is of Vicky Graham’s recipe for sticky toffee baked donuts. #michaelrakowitz @art_books_ #housewithadatepalm #datepalm #cookbook @whitechapelgallery #vickygraham #stickytoffeebakeddonuts #toffeedonut #datepalmdonut #donuts @vickygrahamdonuts #fourthplinth #claudiaroden https://www.instagram.com/p/B1lkOQLJqJr/?igshid=15ivsvlqi12tw

Delicious activism in the new cookbook from Michael Rakowitz and friends... Sam and Sam Clark’s grilled quail with date syrup, is reproduced from ‘A House with a Date Palm Will Never Starve: Cooking with Date Syrup: Forty-One Chefs and an Artist Create New and Classic Dishes with a Traditional Middle Eastern Ingredient,’ the new cookbook by Michael Rakowitz, whose work is currently garnering international attention of another sort at @whitechapelgallery in the UK. Though this book certainly has a critical/political component—an Iraqi-American Jew, Rakowitz is known for work that draws attention to issues surrounding cultural heritage, appropriation and the history of postcolonial displacement—it really is what it says it is: a cookbook, and a superb one at that. Other contributors include Yotam Ottolenghi, Alice Waters, Claudia Roden, Reem Kassis, Prue Leith, Jason Hammel, Nuno Mendes, Thomasina Miers, Giorgio Locatelli and Marcus Samuelsson, to name a few. #michaelrakowitz @art_books_ #housewithadatepalm #datepalm #cookbook https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gsPPupx41/?igshid=1vzdnoui28rgt
