Middle Eastern Cooking: Over 100 Delicious Recipes

More than 100 sumptuous Middle Eastern recipes, from Turkish cucumber salad to Iranian duck steeped in walnuts and pomegranates to the Ramadan dessert of dried fruits, nuts, and cream. Featuring 100 color photos. Middle Eastern cooking is one of the world's great cuisines and, until recently, one of the least known. In her knowledgeable introduction to the subject, Christine Osborne offers a vivid evocation of the various regions, their food, and their culture. There are more than 100 recipes to entice novice and expert alike: tangy Middle Eastern lemonade and refreshing almond drink; tomato and coriander salad and artichoke hearts in olive oil; chicken wings spiked with garlic and lemon juice, savory meat and vegetable pastries, and Turkish kabobs; and luscious desserts, including almond fingers and ground rice pudding. The book includes profiles of each country's cuisine--Egypt, the Gulf States, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Yeman--complemented by stunning color photos of the people, places, and food. 152 pp 9 x 12 100 color photos
