Cookbook author Reem Kassis says that many foods that are considered Middle Eastern or Israeli actually originated as Palestinian dishes. Dan Perez/Phaidon Press
Growing up in East Jerusalem, Palestinian cookbook author Reem Kassis never expected to enter the food industry. For her, the kitchen represented a life sentence for women.
Instead, Kassis moved to the U.S. when she was 17, first studying business at the University of Pennsylvania s Wharton School and then at the London School of Economics. It wasn t until she had a child that she began to see the kitchen as a powerful place where she could share important stories about food and culture with her daughter.
