TABKHA - Recipes from under the rubble

Writing from her tent in Gaza, chef Mona Zahed shares twenty of her ancestral recipes, lovingly nurtured and recalled.

Each dish is illustrated by a different artist, creating a visual feast as delicious as the food itself. Connoisseurs of Palestinian cuisine and newcomers alike will be nourished by Mona’s Tabkha.

After October 2023, Mona lost her catering business, her home, her husband’s workplace, and so much more to settler colonial violence. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go directly to the author and her community.
