Cooking Palestinian Food: on Indigenous Herbs, Craft, and Community

This discussion between Karim Kattan and his brother, Chef Fadi Kattan, attempts to illustrate, sometimes with humor, several political dime

When I try modernizing Palestinian cuisine, I am not trying to make it acceptable to people. When I think of a dish, I don’t ask myself: “Is this gonna please the Europeans or the Americans or the Chinese?” I try to create a dish that is respectful of the flavors, and that has an identity that is very much mine. For instance, I love working with freekeh and I know you hate it. Still in my set menu, I try to force down your throat some freekeh. You know I could make an effort when ì know you’re coming over for dinner and not cook it but if I happen to have a vegetable that works well with it, well I still cook freekeh, whether you like it or not!   Don’t forget, cooking is a magic act, a sacred moment. This is why I am in the kitchen. I was recently speaking to Paris-based Japanese writer, Ryoko Sekiguchi, and we came up with this concept of “cooking of light,” “la cuisine de lumière”) [”hikari no ryôri”] and she linked it to another concept that she came up with Japanese chef Shûichirô Kobori, namely “cooking of prayer,” “la cuisine de prière” [”inori no ryôri”]. Cooking is a sacred moment of intimacy and of creation, which requires respect.  We have such particularities in our kitchen, that we should be putting forward and that we should be protecting from all those coexistence and peace initiatives, which are not really about peace and coexistence. Peace is about justice. When sometimes people ask me: “Would you work with an Israeli chef?” I say: “My conditions if an Israeli chef wants to work with me are that she or he has to accept a Palestinian state with the 1967 borders, accept Jerusalem as the capital of two states, accept the right of return of Palestinians refugees. If there is a resolution that is just to our rights as Palestinians of course I will work with an Israeli chef.” But as long as there is no justice and equality there’s no way I could work with an Israeli chef.

🚨 My Mom is on the Edge – Save Her Life Before It's Too Late! 🚨

I write these words with a heavy heart and a heavy heart. My mother, a symbol of tenderness and giving, is now suffering from unbearable pain, as she suffers from deadly blood cysts on her liver that threaten her life at every moment. The situation has become like an endless nightmare; every minute that passes brings us closer to eternal separation.

The hospital is asking for $3,789 to perform the urgent surgery, and these amounts seem unattainable in these circumstances that turn our lives into a continuous battle against death. I see the pain in her eyes, and the tears running down her cheeks, and I can only beg you with all my hope: Help me save my mother, as every donation, no matter how small, could be the difference between life and death.

This appeal comes from the depths of the heart, filled with sadness and tears, and I appeal to every kind soul to give us a second chance, a chance to keep our mother among us. If you can't donate, please share this message with everyone you know; you may be able to help save her life before it's too late.

My mom needs you now, more than ever... Please help me face these dark moments before death snatches her away from us.❤️🙏

lethal face card

old dead trend BUT WHATEVER!!! i had this idea for a while and i missed part 2

i loved drawing this zestfest tho the pillermen are my absolute guilty pleasure

Ppl need to talk about the horrific violation of human rights and general morality that was the stealing chagos Island.

The tragedy is something similar to the actions of the colonial nations during the days of slavery and indentured labor

i've been thinking about this for way too long

‼️‼️We will die at any moment‼️‼️

The war has returned after 15 months of death and genocide. We have never rested. We are losing people every day, most of them children and women... The bombing is everywhere. Our children are afraid...The sound is frightening.😭

There is no food, no drink, no medicine, the crossing is closed and everything is expensive.

‼️We don't want to die. Please donate and help us so we can buy food and medicine for my mother and save ourselves from death. Just donate. 😭🙏😞🫂‼️

Ahmed's son, Samir, is in grave conditions as you can see from the pictures posted on their profile. On top of that, the campaign has only reached 33% of its goal! This is UNACCEPTABLE.

Please, show some support to this family by donating what you can and sharing this campaign widely, with anyone you know 🙏

DON'T SCROLL PAST WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING. YOU COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD BY HELPING THIS FAMILY.

This is what we could afford to buy today. 😭‼️‼️

Just some basic food: lentils, rice, flour, a few vegetables, and canned goods. Nothing extra, nothing luxurious.

But even this small amount cost us over "$1500" and prices are rising every day. 😱😱

In Gaza, food is getting harder to find — and much harder to afford.

We are doing our best to survive, but without support, we simply can’t keep up.

We urgently need help to buy food like this for our family. ‼️‼️

Your donation — no matter how small — helps us put meals on the table and hold on one more day. 🤍🙏🏻

Please, stand with us.

Support a family in Gaza.

❤️
