Fans of Tanoreen’s Middle Eastern food — admirable eggplant, sumac-tinted sujuk, beet pickles, pillowy hummus, lamb kibbeh, and tabbouleh laden with mint and parsley so green and evenly chopped it seemingly emerged from a lawnmower retrofitted with razor sharp ginsu knives — will be happy to know chef/owner Rawia Bishara is writing a cookbook. Publisher’s Marketplace (subscription required) reports that Bishara’s From Nazareth to New York: A Journey of Galilean Cuisine will be co-written by her daughter Jumana and the book, described as a “from-the-heart account of a life in two worlds and a manual on food that excites the taste buds and creates an atmosphere of hospitality for which Middle Eastern cooks are known,” will be published in Spring of 2014.
