Jerusalem is just as it sounds, recipes from their hometown but based on the number of rich cultures that inhabit this one City, and the various (and often common) food traditions of each. There are beautiful pictures throughout the book, stories of their childhoods and food memories, and simple, incredibly perfect recipes.  I've made a number of things from the book and am continually amazing by how all the flavors come together in the most balanced and bright way. This spinach salad is a perfect example; pretty brilliant in its simplicity.  It also happens to make the perfect fall salad.
