Bethlehem is a celebration of Palestinian food and culture from one of the area’s most dynamic chefs and a portrait of one of the most storied cities in the world. Fadi Kattan celebrates the hidden parts of Bethlehem, conjuring the colors and smells of its market and spice shops and introducing the local farmers and artisans with whom he passionately pursues the perfect ingredients and shares his love of culinary experimentation. Fadi’s inspiration comes from these food artisans, often elderly women, who grow the grapes, mill the wheat, make the olive oil, and most importantly, pass down the generational food knowledge. His loving profiles of these people are accompanied by his own recipes, some passed down, some of his own improvisation.
