My Tel Aviv Table

Publishers Weekly Top 10 Food & Cookery Pick for 2023

From the creator of the beloved Delamina restaurants, this is a collection of healthy home-style recipes packed with the flavours, aromas and stories of Tel Aviv.

“Limor Chen’s beautiful book bursts with exciting combinations and enticing flavours” Claudia Roden

Limor Chen’s Delamina restaurants are known for serving up fragrant, exciting and vibrant dishes to transport you to sun-soaked Tel Aviv. In her debut cookbook gorgeously presented in real cloth-bound hardback, Limor shares her wholesome cooking style, one that centres on health and freshness, ensuring that each recipe is packed with flavour and fragrance while remaining light and nourishing.

These recipes represent the authentic cooking of a food capital of the world, a cultural melting pot of cuisines and inhabitants, ingredients and aromas:

• Discover multiple ways to use herbs and spices like za’atar with aubergine or aromatic dried limes in an Iranian beef stew.
• Lace addictively tangy sumac into labneh or use it to finish a white wine sauce with brill.
• Share bubbling shakshuka for brunch, fig and goats cheese salad, and a vibrant chopped salad served mezze-style
• Try stunning cod chermoula with Israeli cous cous or a legendary family recipe for vine leaves stuffed with venison and fruit.
• All served with deceptively simple pickles and dips on the side.

With the best of Limor’s family’s recipes that evoke the spirit of her home city, this is a cookbook that you’ll return to time and again for a taste of Tel Aviv.
