Fadi Kattan: Telling the Story of Palestine Through Food

In this episode, Fadi Kattan, chef and author of Bethlehem: A Celebration of Palestinian Food, shares how his love for cooking evolved into storytelling — turning recipes into a testament to heritage, memory, and identity. Speaking at the Sharjah International Book Fair 2025, he reflects on how each dish connects him to his hometown of Bethlehem and the farmers, families, and traditions that inspired his book. Fadi discusses the delicate balance between preserving authentic Palestinian flavours and reimagining them for modern kitchens, while also exploring how food writing can bridge cultures, correct misconceptions, and bring people closer to a shared understanding of home.
