Thanks Julie for your comments. You are right about the lack of photos – it was in fact an economic decision. The plan for the next book is to include beautiful images.
An interesting observation about the Smithsonian – I did indeed grow up in DC and I suppose that it was our local custom to call it the Smithsonian Institute – a name that sounded suitably distinguished rolling off my tongue at a very young age. Funny where our blind spots originate…
Thanks again for taking the time to write.

I spent time in the 60s at Gesher Haziv and so am familiar in a way with the area. Wondering why no photos of the area and the food. It would have added a lot to the book. Maybe cost too much??
Also, I noticed early in the book, and again on page 163, you refer to the Smithsonian Institute. It is of course the Smithsonian Institution. Usually the use of Institute shows someone not familiar with the areas but you are from Washington, DC…so the error should not have been made or caught by a copy editor…
Not even sure you’ll see this as the other comments are dated but had no other way to reach you. Hopefully if the book is published in a second edition, you can correct the error.

There is so much to learn and share from each other, if we are open…

My husband comes from the Iraqi Jewish community ( I am a London born Jew) and so for the last 35 years I have had the chance to learn an entirely new cuisine deeply influenced by interface between the Arab world and the Jewish world. Good luck with your book and your writing!
