Jerusalem - Yotam Ottolenghi & Sami Tamimi

Season 1, Ep. 16
•

Get those chickpeas soaking and your list of niche ingredients ready - Ottolenghi's back with another book this season, and this time it's with Sami Tamimi, for a culinary journey through fascinating Jerusalem. After a spate of general, encyclopedia-style books (and a whole lot of French food), we are thrilled to get cooking something a little different. Find out how Hannah's carrying on Victoria's sandwich tradition from our last episode, and who cooked the most dishes in a bid to rustle up the bigger feast.


Here is that delightful Thrillist article on cookbook stores that Hannah mentions, and the book we mention that we're excited about is Edd Kimber's One Tin Bakes: Foolproof cakes, traybakes, bars and bites from gluten-free to vegan and beyond, out in October 2021.


We'd love to hear what your favourite recipes are from this book - let us know @cookbookcircle on Twitter and Instagram!
