Ten years ago, Rawia Bishara of Bay Ridge's beloved Tanoreen shared her Middle Eastern upbringing, history and treasured family recipes in her first cookbook, "Olives, Lemons and Za’atar." Now, Rawia is sharing a new story, and you are invited to get a first look.
On Saturday, May 17, join the founder of Tanoreen for the launch of her latest cookbook, "Tanoreen: Palestinian Home Cooking in Diaspora," at Time Out Market New York. Her second book shares the cookery of Palestinian cuisine across the diaspora, alongside her inspirations gleaned from her journeys abroad. Alongside the launch, there will be a conversation with Rawia and her daughter and partner at Tanoreen, Jumana Bishara. Together, they will speak about the latest cookbook and the inspiration behind the recipes, from traditional dishes to inventive creations. For a true taste, the duo will be cooking recipes straight from the book, showcasing just how Tanoreen has become a culinary landmark, 27 years running.
Proceeds from the event will be donated to The Middle East Children's Alliance, a nonprofit organization which works to protect the rights and improve the lives of children in the Middle East through aid, empowerment and education.
General admission tickets are $5. $40 tickets will grant guests admission and a signed cookbook. Reserve yours here.
