Sahten - Cookbook
Sahten: The SkatePal Cookbook is much more than just a collection of recipes; it's a window into the culture, food, and skateboarding community in Palestine.
Edited by Tom Bird in collaboration with the non-profit organization SkatePal, this 184-page book celebrates Palestinian identity through the food that brings its local skaters together.
