Beth Elise Hawk’s award-winning documentary tells the inspiring story of Dr. Nof Atamna-Ismaeel, the first Muslim Arab to win Israel’s MasterChef. Convinced that cooking collaboratively can not only create extraordinary food but also change the world, she went on to found Haifa’s A-Sham Arabic Food Festival, where Arab and Jewish chefs work together to put their personal spins on traditional recipes. This inspiring, delectable love letter to Middle Eastern food and cuisine diplomacy is a hopeful look at how cooking and eating together can lead to mutual understanding.
