Description
Co-host Tiffany Eslick sits down with celebrated chef and author Fadi Kattan on the sidelines of the Emirates LitFest 2025. He talks about how terroir influences the dishes across Palestine and his journey documenting Palestinian food over the years.
Chef Fadi runs three restaurants around the world—Fawda in Bethlehem, Akub in London and Louf in Toronto. He’s also behind the Kassa Boutique Hotel in Bethlehem and has published his cookbook called Bethlehem, a celebration of Palestinian Food.
We’ll also have a bonus episode out next week where Chef Fadi shares more about the dishes he prepared for the banquet dinner at the LitFest, and why he’s tired of everything with tahini being called hummus.
