ZAHAV
DOROTHY KALINS, James Beard Award winner and founding editor of Saveur magazine, commissioned DMD to art direct the critically-acclaimed ZAHAV.
The story of ZAHAV is beautiful, heart-wrenching, instructive, and inspiring. Israeli cuisine is at its center, but people are at its core. Using bold graphics, elegant typography, and Michael Persico’s vivid photography, intimate essays and masterful recipes lace together. ZAHAV won two James Beard Awards: Best Cookbook of the Year Award and the Best International Cookbook Award, helping to recognize Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook as among the finest and most innovative chefs in America.
