'Israel is controlling Gaza by starvation' says acclaimed Palestinian chef

Sami Tamimi is one of the brains behind the hugely successful and influential Ottolenghi restaurants, which he launched with his friend and long-time collaborator Yotam Ottolenghi.

The pair co-wrote the bestselling cookbook Jerusalem - and more recently, Sami has written Falastin and Boustany, a powerful celebration of Palestinian food and culture.

He says that in Palestine, “food is political”, and never more so than right now.
