Book Description
This new Iraqi cook book contains more than four hundred recipes covering all food categories. There is ample choice for both vegetarian and meat lovers, and many that will satisfy a sweet tooth. All recipes have been tested and are easy to follow.
Introducing the recipes are thoroughly researched historical and cultural narratives that trace the development of the Iraqi cuisine from the times of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians, through the medieval era, and leading to its interaction with Mediterranean and world cuisine.
Of particular interest are the book's numerous folkloric stories, anecdotes, songs, cultural explications of customs, and excerpts from narratives written by foreign visitors to the region. Arabic calligraphy, and photos, paintings and sketches add to the pictorial appeal of the book.
From the Author
The book has received the Special Award of the Jury of the Gourmand World cook book Awards for 2007
Reader Reviews
Very well written. Full of interesting stories and tales. Much more than a usual recipe book. And most important very veggie friendly. The way of telling the stories is very fluid, very personal. It is rare to come across a fantastic ethnic cuisine writer who also happen to have such excellent facility with language Comprehensive and clear with a nice style of writing. Can almost taste the dishes as you read about them. Loved the various rice dishes and the use of yoghurt is clearly very imaginative in Iraqi cuisine. All so new to me Enjoy!
