In his first solo cookbook, Boustany: A Celebration of Vegetables from My Palestine, he embarks on a vibrant journey through Palestinian culinary traditions, celebrating simple, colourful dishes centred around vegetables and grains. This exploration builds on his earlier work as co-founder of the Ottolenghi restaurants and co-author of bestselling cookbooks: Falastin and Jerusalem: A Cookbook. Boustany is Sami’s homage to the food and culture of Palestine.
