rsvp: cookbook club 06 - bethlehem by fadi kattan
all proceeds benefit the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund
July’s cookbook club features Bethlehem: A Celebration of Palestinian Food by Fadi Kattan. The book includes 68 recipes, organized by season.
While food is a powerful tool to nurture community, build bridges, and open doors to cultures new to us, attending cookbook club is not a substitute for meaningful acts of engagement. This cookbook club, we appreciate the rich history of Palestinian cuisine, and honor a community that has long faced horrific conditions and injustices imposed by the Israeli occupation.
As we witness the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and escalating violence in the West Bank, we ask you to consider the following actions as you prepare for this upcoming cookbook club:
Contact your member of congress and demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
Bring attention to what is happening in Gaza. Attend protests, learn about what is happening in Palestine and uplift Palestinian voices.

About Bethlehem:
“At the heart of Bethlehem are the inspiring stories of the unsung heroes behind the cuisine who, generation after generation, contribute to the culinary tapestry of the region. They grow grapes, mill wheat, produce olive oil, and, most importantly, pass down invaluable food knowledge. Fadi pays homage to these culinary artisans through heartfelt profiles that accompany his meticulously crafted recipes. Woven into Bethlehem are Fadi’s memories of time spent in the kitchen with his maternal grandmother Teta Julia, and stories of his paternal grandmother, Teta Emily, who inspired some of his most personal recipes.
Amidst growing chaos and strife, Bethlehem stands as a testament to resilience and community with stories and recipes that provide a glimpse into the enduring legacy of Bethlehem.”
