Writing from her tent in Gaza, chef Mona Zahed shares twenty-two of her ancestral recipes, lovingly nurtured and recalled. 

THIS IS A PRE-ORDER. BOOKS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SHIPPED IN AUGUST 2025. 

Each dish is illustrated by a different artist, creating a visual feast as delicious as the food itself. Connoisseurs of Palestinian cuisine and newcomers alike will be nourished by Mona’s Tabkha.

After October 2023, Mona lost her catering business, her home, her husband’s workplace, and so much more to settler colonial violence. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go directly to the author and her community.

Mona Zahed is a Palestinian chef and mother living in Gaza. Mona has always loved cooking, artfully presenting food, and helping her friends prepare for their special occasions. Prior to October 2023 she ran a successful catering business, putting her skills and passions to practice. Tabkha is Mona's debut title, filled with twenty-two of her most beloved recipes.

The first edition of Tabkha was a concept prepped and served with love by Mona and her friends from Coffees for Gaza, published by Slingshot Books.

Coffees for Gaza is a grassroots mutual aid collective fundraising through artivism.

Love this book!

As a Palestinian, I am so proud that this book exists, am so happy that I was able to get my hands on a copy despite living in the States. Illustrations are beautiful, to the point that I want posters of all of them. Recipes themselves are very well written, and though many of them are familiar, seeing them in this format inspires me to make the dishes more often. Thank you to everyone who risked so much to create this, and may all of the Palestinians suffering around the world be blessed with freedom and peace of mind.
