Zahav Home: Cooking for Friends & Family Michael Solomonov Author

Award-winning chefs and bestselling authors of the James Beard Awardâ winning Zahav, Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook invite you to cook the way they do at home, with 125 new recipes for simple and achievable meals.Since opening Zahav (the beloved, award-winning, and critically acclaimed restaurant in Philadelphia that serves a powerfully flavorful menu inspired by modern Israeli cuisine) fifteen years ago, co-owners chef Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook have learned at least two things: cooking at home isnâ t anything like cooking at the restaurant, and, how to bring Zahavâ s signature ideas to the home kitchen. As busy fathers, Mike and Steve have also learned that thinking ahead is key. Their secret: a strategically stocked pantry. Then itâ s nothing, for example, to slather amba from a jar onto a spatchcocked chicken for an almost-instant roast chicken dinner, or to cook a leg of lamb coated with harissa (also from a jar!) in one potâ on a school night! When they make soups, with all the intense flavors they use at the restaurant, they make a lot of soup, always thinking of the freezer and those busy nights when thereâ s no time to cook.Even more than Zahav, their trailblazing first book, Zahav Home is a truly intimate affairâ an invitation right into Mike's and Steve's home kitchens, with recipes tried and tested by them and their families. The 125 all-new recipes in this book include robust salads, abundant vegetables, hearty soups, easy lunches, and weeknight meals that taste as if they took hours to make. There are Sunday dinners, unforgettable desserts, and more, including:Tehina Caesar Salad with Gutsy CroutonsMatzo Ball SoupSesame Chicken with MatbuchaTwice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with LabnehSheet pan Kebabs: Yemenite, Kofte & MerguezHummus from the PotDate-Glazed Salmon FilletsBaby Apple CakesPistachio Sticky BunsYouâ ll find features throughout titled â Makingâ that visually break recipes down into easy step-by-step, as well as â Method," highlighting a foundational recipe, technique, or tip that can be used flexibly in countless dishes, like Schug, Garlic Confit, and some Hard-Cooked Egg Wisdom.
