Zaitoun by Yasmin Khan
Recipes and Stories from the Palestinian Kitchen
A lyrical blend of travelogue, oral history and culinary writing that follows the olive tree as a living thread through Palestinian life—its food, rituals, economy and identity—and uses personal encounters, recipes and archival research to trace how colonialism, displacement and ongoing conflict have targeted land and harvests; the book shows how the olive remains a potent symbol of rootedness, memory and everyday resistance as communities strive to protect trees, keep traditions and sustain solidarity across generations.
