Oh come, all ye faithful: A Palestinian Christmas Dinner

Festive dinner celebrating where Christmas originated with Umayya Abu Hanna talking about her latest book 'Een Palestijns Diner'.

In a time of genocidal hardship, Umayya Abu-Hanna responds with joy: a small book filled with life, history, recipes and love. Join us for a festive, slightly boozy Palestinian Christmas dinner—camp sparkle, tipsy figs for dessert and stories that bring recipes to life. Discover how Palestine remained mostly Christian until the 12th century, how Gaza’s 5,000-year-old wine became the world’s first internationally branded wine and how hummus predates many modern cuisines. Hear kitchens where Christian roots, Muslim influences and Palestinian creativity blend effortlessly. Come for the dinner and stay for the love.
