Israel’s open-air marketplaces or shuks are the heart and soul of its daily life. Both authors’ Middle Eastern heritage inform each authentic dish, from Persian rice platters and Moroccan tagines to Levantine spreads and the rare, hand-rolled couscous of North Africa. Written by two leading female voices in Israeli cuisine, Shuk presents an enticing portrait of this globally beguiling melting pot fare.
Janna Gur was born in Riga, Latvia, and immigrated to Israel in 1974. She is the founder of Al Hashulchan, the premier Israeli food and wine magazine, which she edited for almost 30 years. Gur is the author of The Book of New Israeli Food and Jewish Soul Food: From Minsk to Marrakesh and has written and/or edited nearly 40 other cookbooks. She lives in Tel Aviv.
Einat Admony, co-author, will be at the Texas Book Festival in the Central Market Cooking Tent. The schedule details will be available on the Texas Book Festival website.
