When Ori Menashe, a chef, and Genevieve Gergis, a pastry chef, opened their first Los Angeles restaurant, Bestia, it quickly captured the hearts of the city. And when they launched their second restaurant, Bavel, their fanbase had expanded to include cooks and food lovers across the country. Bavel, in addition to its namesake cookbook, offers readers the opportunity to discover the diverse cuisines of the Middle East, from fragrant spice blends to tangy zhougs, creamy hummus, and a rainbow of pickled vegetables. Experience tender oven-baked flatbreads, mouthwatering meats and tagines, and indulgent pastries and tarts. Babel, the Hebrew word for Bavel, is a symbol of the many differences that exist between us, whether cultural, spiritual, or political. Through its recipes, Bavel showcases the stories of the countries that make up the Middle East, drawing influence from all corners of the region. Show more
