About the Book: Boustany, which means “My Garden” in Arabic, is the first solo cookbook by Sami Tamimi, co-founder of Ottolenghi and a champion of Palestinian cuisine. The book, a homage to Palestinian food and culture, offers a collection of over 100 simple, flavor-packed recipes for everything from breakfast to celebratory feasts. Reflecting Sami’s signature style, the dishes are often vegetable- and grain-led, such as platters of aubergine and chickpeas with a spicy green lemon sauce, and showcase the Palestinian love for fresh, vibrant food. The book also provides an introduction to building a mooneh, or pantry, by preserving seasonal ingredients.
