Authors: Einat Admony and Janna Gur

A Library Journal Best Cookbook of the Year

“SHUK shouts ‘Cook me!” from every vibrant page.”
—Boston Globe

“If your knowledge of Israeli cooking starts and ends with Ottolenghi, we have a new book for you. Shuk . . . provides both approachable recipes and an education in Israeli eating. The detailed instructions on the building blocks of Israeli cuisine, like a six panel labneh photo series, will comfort even the most timid of cooks, while the border-crossing dishes—like a fragrant Ethiopian Doro Wot—provide insight into what a modern day Israelite eats. If you're visiting Tel Aviv any time soon or just dreaming of it, this book doubles as travel inspiration: Lush photo essays from a handful of choice outdoor markets, or shuks, appear between recipes.”
—Epicurious

“Gorgeously designed . . . an excellent introduction to the cuisine. Part cookbook, part photo essay, part travelogue, Admony and Gur pay homage to the shuks – free-form marketplaces – where they find culinary inspiration. Charming little essays highlighting the authors' favorite vendors and markets are strewn throughout its pages, telling the reader best practices for their visit and highlighting each market's particular charms. . . . For all their beauty, many of the dishes in Shuk are surprisingly simple, highlighting the fresh flavors of vegetables and herbs. It's a book that insists on its own usefulness, despite the glossy look that might tempt you to keep it safely tucked away on a coffee table.”
—Austin Chronicle

“Einat and Janna’s journey into the vibrant world of Israeli food is one you seriously want to join. It covers everything from the famous chopped salads to hummus (of course!) to couscous to chicken to cheesecake—and it’s laid out beautifully by two skillful experts.”
—Yotam Ottolenghi, chef and author of Jerusalem and Plenty

“I am devouring Einat Admony and Janna Gur’s Shuk. This book superbly illustrates how Einat creates layers of flavor with recipes that are accessible for the home cook. And nobody knows the Israeli market scene better than Janna Gur. Together they have collaborated on a work that not only brings the Israeli shuk (marketplace) alive, but also gives the reader wonderful tips and even more wonderful recipes.”
—Joan Nathan, author of King Solomon’s Table
