"The Arab-Israeli Cookbook "

The Arab-Israeli Cookbook is a drama created from the everyday realities of life in Israel and the occupied territories, where nothing is truly “everyday”.

The mother of a Palestinian killed in an Israeli mortar attack recalls the last meal her "martyr" son ate before his death; the owner of a cafe tells how he makes his hummus, famed for miles around, that nobody comes to eat because roadblocks make it impossible for people to get from the outlying village to his premises. A mother prepares with patient love and care a new-year supper for her family. The falafel shop owner gives us his secret recipe and tells of the suicide bomb attack on his shop. A woman recounts how she returned to a bombed supermarket to reclaim her shopping and saw a sight that now haunts her.
