Though just back from Israel—where the hummus really IS better—I decided we needed to eat at Solomonov‘s highly regarded Zahav in Philly during our road trip. Reservations are next to impossible to get so we walked in hoping to eat at the bar & then scored a table when someone cancelled. The meal was excellent so, I picked up the cookbook. Excited to make some great food & drink some lemonnana (think mint lemonade with bourbon—delicious!).
Michael Solomonov's cookbook, Zahav is one of those rare cookbooks that bridges the gap between complex worldly flavors and simple technique and tradition. The perfect gift that will fill your homes and tables for years to come. Looks good enough for the coffee table but won't leave the kitchen counter... maybe you should get two! #2016giftguide #zahav #michaelsolomonov
At Kitchen Kapers in Philadelphia and their cookbook section is amazing. They have signed copies of this modern classic. The next time I am in Philly I am eating at the restaurant, full stop no excuses!
Cleaning out purse and found a forgotten gift card stashed in a side pocket - went on a cookbook binge! #cookbookjunkie
