Shaya: An Odyssey of Food, My Journey Back to Israel: A Cookbook [Shaya, Alon] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Shaya: An Odyssey of Food, My Journey Back to Israel: A Cookbook

Review: Great recipes and stories - I'm really enjoying the stories. The recipes I've made so far have been delicious, looking forward to making more.
Review: Excellent Cookbook/Memoir - A beautiful cookbook all the way around. The book is part memoir, with each chapter including a few pages about Alon Shaya's life before delving into a few recipes related to that period, which makes everything much more personal. These essays are well written and read like a book, really guiding you through the recipes that follow. You can tell that great care was taken in assembling this collection. This thoughtfulness is apparent in some of the smaller design decisions - there are pictures of every dish, and Shaya is quick to offer alternative suggestions to tweak dishes with rare, expensive, or non-kosher ingredients (for instance, if you don't have the time - or inclination - to source rosebuds for a tahini based sauce for his date pancakes, he offers an additional spice substitution in the batter). Because of this approach, it isn't a "greatest hits" of his restaurant cuisine (though a few pasta dishes, roasted cauliflower, hummus, and pita bread do make an appearance). Instead, he's included a wide range of food types that have influenced him or that he has cooked throughout his career, from traditional Israeli cuisine to pizza to a very pork heavy red beans and rice. So far, I've only made the stuffed cabbage, but it was excellent. I'm looking forward to trying more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Israeli cookbook

One of my favorite New Orleans restaurants/chefs, and now I can recreate some of his fishes at home, as well as learn about his life and travels. ,
