“What has brought such pleasure in the restaurant is our play on associations and memories, our rootedness in land and history and our encounters with the new and modern, and we want you to have fun in the same way at home, too. We converge at an irreverent meeting point between the very best of our collective cultures and we invite you, our home cooks, to join us there.”
-from the Introduction
The Palomar Cookbook: Modern Israeli Cuisine (Clarkson Potter | March 21, 2017 | $35.00 | Hardcover) allows home cooks to experience this acclaimed restaurant in new ways from the comfort of their own kitchens. With chapters featuring everything from shareable mezze to dessert, The Palomar’s innovative dishes explore delicious ingredients like za’atar, labneh, pomegranate syrup, and tahini.

- RAW BEGINNINGS: Scallop Tartare with Middle Eastern Gazpacho; Cured Mackerel Fricassee; Fattoush Salad
