The Arabesque Table
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.

I thought earlier episodes were rough because she was...Read full review »
