A soulful tour of Palestinian cooking today from the Ottolenghi restaurants' executive chef and partner--120 recipes shaped by his personal story as well as the history of Palestine.

"Truly, one of the best cookbooks of the year so far."--Bon App tit

The story of Palestine's food is really the story of its people. When the events of 1948 forced residents from all regions of Palestine together into one compressed land, recipes that were once closely guarded family secrets were shared and passed between different groups in an effort to ensure that they were not lost forever.

In Falastin (pronounced "fa-la-steen"), Sami Tamimi retraces the lineage and evolution of his country's cuisine, born of its agriculturally optimal geography, its distinct culinary traditions, and Palestinian cooks' ingenuity and resourcefulness. Tamimi covers the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River--East Jerusalem and the West Bank, up north to the Galilee and the coastal cities of Haifa and Akka, inland to Nazareth, and then south to Hebron and the coastal Gaza Strip--recounting his upbringing with eleven siblings and his decision to leave home at seventeen to cook in West Jerusalem, where he met and first worked with Yotam Ottolenghi.

From refugee-camp cooks to the home kitchens of Gaza and the mill of a master tahini maker, Tamimi teases out the vestiges of an ancient culinary tradition as he records the derivations of a dynamic cuisine and people in more than 130 transporting photographs and 120 recipes, including:

- Hassan's Easy Eggs with Za'atar and Lemon
- Fish Kofta with Yogurt, Sumac, and Chile
- Pulled-Lamb Schwarma Sandwich
- Labneh Cheesecake with Roasted Apricots, Honey, and Cardamom

Named after the Palestinian newspaper that brought together a diverse people, Falastin is a vision of a cuisine, a culture, and a way of life as experienced by one influential chef.

Love this product but not the best for stubborn pimples
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
The Mighty Patch Original Patch from Hero Cosmetics is hands-down one of the best acne solutions I’ve used. These hydrocolloid stickers actually shrink pimples and whiteheads overnight — I wake up and see a noticeable difference, even on stubborn spots that usually take days to calm down. They’re super easy to use — just stick on before bed and let them work while you sleep. They stay put, even if you accidentally touch your face, and don’t irritate my skin. I also like that they’re practically invisible enough to wear during the day if needed. Great for emergency breakouts or everyday maintenance. For anyone who wants fast, gentle, mess-free results, these Mighty Patches deliver!

Truly Mighty! Best patches we’ve found.
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
These patches live up to the name! They are hands-down the best pimple patches I’ve used. The versatility and fit are perfect, and they actually stay put. I have very sensitive skin and have had zero issues with irritation, which is a huge win. My daughter uses them too and absolutely loves how effective they are. A must-have in our house!

A total game changer (where were these when I was a teen?!)
Size: 72 Count (Pack of 1)
I honestly wish these had been around when I was younger! The Mighty Patch Original is hands-down the most effective way I’ve found to deal with stubborn whiteheads. Instead of picking at my skin and making things worse, I just pop one of these on at night and let it do the work while I sleep. By the morning, you can actually see the gunk it pulled out right on the patch (gross, but strangely satisfying). It significantly reduces the size and redness of the zit in just one use, and because it covers the spot, it stops me from touching it and causing more irritation. The 72-count pack is a great value and lasts quite a while. They stay put all night, even if you toss and turn, and they’re clear enough that you almost forget you’re wearing them. If you’re looking for a stress-free way to clear up your skin overnight, these are a must-have!

Works on all skin types
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
What an amazing product! I'm in my 40s and still experience occasional acne. I purchased Mighty Patch, and after wearing it overnight, my blemish was noticeably cleared up by morning. I have fairly dry skin and already use quality skincare products both morning and night, so I was impressed by how well it worked. My 17-year-old son also tried one when he started getting a few breakouts, and it cleared up his blemish as well. His skin is much oilier than mine, which shows that this product can be effective for both dry and oily skin types. I’m very happy with the results and will definitely be purchasing it again!

Doesn't replace good hygiene efforts
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
It's not a miracle patch if that's what people are buying it for. The patch, once skin has been cleansed and dried, adheres well and stays put overnight. The patch does pull out dead white cells but never has it been one patch and done. I am finding that another patch has to go on to the blemish as it's now open and very red. So depending on how big the blemish is, determins how many patches you will need to fully clear up. On a great note: It does help with preveting me from touching it or picking at it which does indeed help the blemish heal faster. I keep a box in my medicine cabinet for really big, very noticable , blemishes, but I don't find it very cost effective nor do I find that my blemishes are cleared up 100% with use. It's really more a matter of: stop touching your face with dirty hands, don't go to bed with makeup on, stop squeezing/popping white heads, invest in a good facial cleanser with proven ingredients. There is no miracle patch. It's an good product for sure, but not a miracle. It will not replace good hygeine and a good cleanser.
