Taking off from a traditional pantry (including olive oil, tahini, za’atar, sumac), she updates classic flavor profiles to dazzling effect. These are the very best of the dishes she has developed over the last twenty years in her New York City restaurant for the contemporary palate. In LEVANT, Rawia offers more than 100 recipes that represent a modern approach to her native cuisine. In nine chapters ranging from Breakfast to Dessert (including many vegetarian options), Bishara shared her poignant memories & her superb recipes, tossing in a little extra spice here & a handful of savory herbs there, just as her beloved mother did so many years ago. As a celebrated restaurateur, she has created original offerings in the same spirit, inspired by her Mediterranean travels & years of cooking for her own family in America. As the daughter of a passionate, imaginative home cook, Bishara honors her mother’s unique approach to traditional Middle Eastern cuisine with dishes that are rarely experienced outside the region. Through engaging stories & thoughtful recipes, she recounts the joys of growing up in a food-loving family in which every meal provided the backdrop for her most cherished memories. Olives, Lemons & Za’atar takes you on the colorful culinary journey that brought Rawia Bishara from her native Nazareth to her adopted hometown of New York City, where she presides over the acclaimed Brooklyn restaurant, Tanoreen. Our commitment to and respect for our culinary heritage is the basis for Tanoreen & as the years have passed our menu has proudly evolved to embrace new flavors & influences to enliven & enrich. We are honored to continue an intergenerational legacy. Jumana can now describe herself as the daughter of a passionate, imaginative restaurateur & author.

In 1998 Tanoreen opened as a ten table, storefront in Brooklyn, & has since taken on a partner (Jumana, aka ‘The Daughter’), expanded to a larger location, published a cookbook, & now has a second book being published in June 2018. Tanoreen’s cookery style was born first & foremost as a form of expression inspired by her mom and then influenced by her time traveling abroad & living in the New York.
