Joudie Kalla, author of the bestselling Palestine on a Plate, introduces readers to more of the Middle East's best-kept secret, Palestinian cuisine. Baladi means my home, my land, my country, and Joudie once again pays homage to her homeland of Palestine by showcasing the wide-ranging, vibrant and truly delicious dishes of her country. Baladi features recipes that are broadly categorized according to the differing environments they primarily hail from, such as the land, the sea, the forest, the orchard. Dishes are designed to complement one another, and Joudie explains which work well together as a meal, as well as the varied and diverse origins of the recipes. She uses influences from her homeland to create new dishes, and brings her own twist to more traditional recipes.
