He discusses the varying terroir (the coast, the desert and the inland), the standout ingredients, what caused food to be so important in his life — both personally and professionally — and why food waste management and cooking sustainability are "not something new" and are something that have been practiced for generations. "It's not a trend," he says. "What I have to say is cook Palestinian ... wherever you are," Kattan tells me, adding that he hopes people can "entertain the hope that we have that my book doesn't become an archeology history book, but is actually just a step in celebrating a lively civilization." Read more from Kattan [here](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoiKnBP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvcDdzam40YTZleS8_bGhfYWlkPTM0ODk2JmxoX2NpZD1kZjdwcWlyZGx4JmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmagwiSmZh6dEEpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRoiKnBP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvb2trMTg4MG8xaC8_bGhfYWlkPTM0ODk2JmxoX2NpZD1kZjdwcWlyZGx4VwNzcGNCCmagwiSmZh6dEEpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~~/AASU4wA~/RgRoiKnBP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvdHBveXUwOG9rNy8_bGhfYWlkPTM0ODk2JmxoX2NpZD1kZjdwcWlyZGx4VwNzcGNCCmagwiSmZh6dEEpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~~/AASU4wA~/RgRoiKnBP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvc3FtemUweXNydy8_bGhfYWlkPTM0ODk2JmxoX2NpZD1kZjdwcWlyZGx4VwNzcGNCCmagwiSmZh6dEEpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~~/AASU4wA~/RgRoiKnBP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZ2R1b3BsMnNraS8_bGhfYWlkPTM0ODk2JmxoX2NpZD1kZjdwcWlyZGx4VwNzcGNCCmagwiSmZh6dEEpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~ What we're cooking As the ludicrous heat waves have begun to cool off, fire up the grill to make this restaurant-caliber charred squash with a host of garnishes and sauces, courtesy of Chef Tyler Fenton of BATA Restaurant in Tucson, Arizona.

"I started cooking because I simply love food – mainly, I love eating. I have so much passion for ingredients, spices and cooking techniques. I am always researching new restaurants, looking into cookbooks, as well as food magazines and podcasts. I am a foodie at heart. When I was around 13 years old, my family and I went on a trip to Oaxaca. During this trip, we met a chef who showed us around the city. After exploring markets and restaurants together, I realized I wanted to dedicate my life to being a chef. " Read more from Ozyilmaz [here](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoiKnBP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvdWhocG04bHhpaS8_bGhfYWlkPTM0ODk2JmxoX2NpZD1kZjdwcWlyZGx4JmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmagwiSmZh6dEEpSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~).
