Zaytoun is a community Interest Company founded in 2004. Their aim is to create and develop a UK market for artisanal Palestinian produce.
Discover the heart and soul of Palestinian cuisine with the captivating Zaitoun Cookbook from Zaytoun. This culinary treasure is a harmonious blend of flavors, stories, and the spirit of Palestine.
The cookbook's title, "Zaitoun," carries dual meaning, as both "Zaytoun" and "Zaitoun" represent "olive" in Arabic. This linguistic nuance reflects the essence of the book, where the journey is as diverse as the recipes themselves.
Written by Yasmin Khan, the cookbook embarks on a flavorful journey that transcends food. Yasmin's explorations lead her to harvest black olives in the groves of Burquin in the West Bank and share moments with artisans at the Taybeh brewery, producers of the first Palestinian craft beer. Through these interactions, she delves into the everyday lives and stories of Palestinians.
"Zaitoun" offers a tantalizing array of recipes, each a tribute to Palestinian culinary heritage. Herb-filled salads, quick pickles, fragrant soups, tender roasted meats, and decadent desserts fill the pages, celebrating the vibrant flavors of the region. With a focus on vegetarian adaptations of classic Palestinian dishes, the cookbook caters to a wide range of preferences.
Beyond the recipes, "Zaitoun" weaves a tapestry of narratives from individuals who have a profound connection to Palestine. These stories provide context, allowing readers to understand the culture, traditions, and lives that revolve around the cuisine. It's not just about the food; it's about the people and the land.
The cookbook encapsulates the essence of Palestinian culinary culture, inviting readers to explore flavors, traditions, and lives. "Zaitoun" is more than a collection of recipes; it's a testament to the beauty of unity, storytelling, and the shared love for food.
