The Arab Israeli Cookbook by Robin Soans with a foreword by Claudia Roden

Softcover

The Arab-Israeli Cookbook is a drama created from the everyday realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In a research trip to the occupied territories and Israel by the writer Robin Soans and directors Rimi Brihi and Tim Roseman, they met and interviewed people drawn from the widest possible background of culture class and creed. The one unifying feature of these meetings was that the subjects were cooking their daily meals and discussing their daily lives. Involves cooking on stage. The play has received many productions and is used for the study of conflict resolution. A companion colour cookery book of the same name gives the recipes, photos of the people interviewed and background to the project.
