Food tasting with author of 'The Gaza Kitchen'

Laila El-Haddad, author of the highly acclaimed cookbook, The Gaza Kitchen: A Palestinian Culinary Journey, will discuss her new book. Attendees will have the opportunity to try some Gaza-style Mediterranean food cooked straight from the recipes of the book! Copies of the book will also be sold. The Gaza Kitchen has received incredible reviews from media as diverse as The New York Times, The Washington Post, BBC World News, Bon Appetit Magazine, etc. “An important book on an egregiously under appreciated, under-reported area of gastronomy. This is old school in the best possible meaning of the term.” —Anthony Bourdain, chef, author, and host of “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” Hosted by American Friends Service Committee.
