Getting back into the cooking swing of things. I recently received Breakfast: The Cookbook for my birthday, and I was excited to give it a spin and the first recipe I tried--Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and latkes--was SO good. 

This celery root and apple soup, turned golden thanks to the turmeric in the spice blend known as Hawaji, will be showing up on the blog this week because it’s such a wonderful autumnal recipe. It’s a light adaptation of a recipe from the Zahav cookbook.

An Israeli restaurant in Philadelphia is accused of "cultural genocide"

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

...To demonstrate just what is going on here, I reproduce below my August 2018 essay on the seriousness of Israeli appropriation of Palestinian food. It is hard to believe that the owners and staff at Zahav are not aware of this less-than-honest dimension of their business. The rest of us—those of the James Beard Foundation in particular—should as well be aware of what is happening if only to avoid complicity in a nasty bit of theft. Food Appropriation as a Form of Cultural Genocide—An Analysis (6 August 2018) by Lawrence Davidson

Zahav does not claim that there is no Levantine influence - it revels in it, as its webpage says:

Zahav offers a small plates menu that encourages guests to sample the large variety of cultural influences on the cuisine of Israel - from Eastern Europe to North Africa and from Persia to the Eastern Mediterranean.

It isn't that Israeli restaurateurs are trying to steal anyone else's cuisine - it is that people who hate Israel are claiming that there is no such thing as Israeli cuisine, which is a fusion and update of the others. Those critics are the liars, not the Israelis.

If a Palestinian Arab wants to open a five star restaurant and call the food Palestinian cuisine (which never existed as a separate cuisine) and get an award from James Beard and they call it "Palestinian cuisine," no one would give a damn. The Lebanese and Syrians and Egyptians who actually created the cuisine won't care.

If anyone wants a PDF of the Zahav cookbook, message me and I’ll send it to you.  I own the cookbook (actually have it autographed) and it’s one of my favorites.  A lot of great recipes in it from all over the Jewish diaspora along with some great stories.

Bought a Golden Seraph set and immediately used it on four different dragons :D feels like a little bit of a waste of gems since it’s so small but I’m sure the slight nagging feeling of regret will pass soon because they’re so pretty. I wrote which pieces they’re wearing in the image descriptions in case people can’t see them :D
