You Say Bassal; I Say Batzal: What happens when an Israeli chef and a Palestinian chef share a kitchen.

"I’m an Israeli caterer working in Washington, D.C., and for the past four years, I have been working shoulder to shoulder, cutting board to cutting board, with a Palestinian co-chef. The result is strange: an alliance where food is at once political and unifying, and where politics is always in the kitchen too."
