“I appreciate the thought that the author put into this book. However, I do take issue with her characterization of hummus having been appropriated by Israel, while allegedly ignoring its Arab roots. While the author would like to characterize all Israelis as coming from areas outside of the Levantine, in fact many Israelis come from other Arab countries, where they lived for centuries. Of course they brought the foods they ate with them, and along with the people who lived in Israel, continued to eat it. Did other Israelis eat it and make it and market it? Yes.Should credit be given? Yes. But please remember that Israelis are not one homogeneous group, and the foods they eat reflect both where they came from and where they are now.”

“Great podcast that blends food and history. I love to listen while baking. Linda has on great guests and while her off-the-cuff banter can be awkward at times, she does her research on the guest's subject and asks great questions, making each episode fly by enjoyably with a lot of info and...”Read full review »
