What do halva, shakshuka, and attayif (cheese filled pancakes eaten by Muslims on Ramadan) have in common?  They are all Israeli foods featured in The New Book of Israeli Food: A Culinary Journey.  Nextbook recently sat down over dinner with author, Janna Gur, who is the founder and editor of Israel’s leading food and wine magazine, Al Hashulchan Gastronomic Monthly.  Listen to a podcast of what she has to say here.

Purchase Janna’s book, filled with delicious recipes and stunning food photography, here.

    I just listened to this interview last night and was planning on posting about it today! You beat me to it. :) I loved listening to the history of Israeli food, but I was kind of shocked by the total disregard to kashrut…

    The PHOTOGRAPHY in this book alone makes it worth buying this book! Amazing!
