The Gaza Kitchen: A Palestinian Culinary Journey

The cuisine of Gaza is a vibrant reflection of its rich heritage, blending bold flavours, fresh ingredients and time-honoured techniques. Spicy stews, tangy dips, fragrant fish dishes and honey-soaked desserts embody a culinary tradition shaped by history and sustained through adversity. Each dish tells the story of a people whose connection to their land and culture endures despite immense challenges, showcasing the power of food as a cultural anchor.

The Gaza Kitchen brings new life to this cuisine with more than one hundred recipes collected first-hand by Laila El-Haddad and Maggie Schmitt. It offers an intimate portrait of Gazan life through hundreds of photographs of Gazan cooks, farmers and fresh-produce merchants at work, and in-kitchen interviews in which these women and men tell the stories of their food, their heritage and their families.

This new edition of this much loved, award-winning cookbook stands as both a celebration of Palestinian cultural identity and a powerful testament to the resilience of the Gaza community.
