VOGUE.com features ‘Jerusalem: A cook book’ as a warming trend


Transport your dinner guests to warmer climes this fall with adventurous recipes from five new cookbooks that make the most of your spice cabinet. Through photographs and flavors, each serves up a culinary tour of its respective culture, whether be it Israel, Latin America, or Vietnam. Below, we’ve paired the tomes with the perfect new homeware to match.

Jerusalem, Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi (Ten Speed Press)

Coauthored by the highly acclaimed writer of Plenty, Yotam Ottolenghi, the new cookbook Jerusalem brings the flavors of Israel to your kitchen. Staples of the capital city’s marketplace are brought to life in recipes like Swiss Chard with Tahini, Yogurt & Buttered Pine Nuts, and Cardamom Rice Pudding with Pistachios & Rose Water. And, if the spread illustrating how to prepare Chocolate Krantz Cakes (a babbka-like braided pastry filled with rich chocolate and almonds) doesn’t make you want drop everything and roll dough, we don’t know what will.
