Arabesque by Claudia Roden
FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES THE FINEST FOODS OF TURKEY, LEBANON AND MOROCCO 'Roden's great gift is to conjure up not just a cuisine but the culture from which it springs' Nigella Lawson ________ Arabesque is a tribute to the culinary histories and contemporary food of these fascinating countries, from the mezze dishes of Turkey and the sweet pastries of Lebanon to the unmistakable flavours and spices of Morocco. Inside you will find carefully curated histories, anecdotes and - most importantly - delicious recipes: From Morocco . . . · Tomatoes Stuffed with Roast Peppers, Tuna, Capers And Olives · Lamb Tagine with Potatoes and Peas · Walnut Pastries in Honey Syrup From Turkey . . . · Creamy Filo Spinach Pie · Roast Chicken With Pine Nut And Raisin Pilaf · Pistachio Cake From Lebanon . . . · Traditional Tabbouleh · Pan-Fried Red Mullet With Tahini Sauce · Almond Puff Pastry Pies In her inimitable style, in Arabesque Claudia Roden has created a passionate, evocative book full of stories, memories and delicious food. Praise for Claudia Roden: 'Claudia Roden's writing has the fascination of her conversation. Her books are treasure-houses of information and mines of literary pleasures' Observer 'Claudia Roden is no more a simple cookbook writer than Marcel Proust was a biscuit baker. She is, rather, memorialist, historian, ethnographer, anthropologist, essayist, poet . . .' Simon Schama 'Every one of Claudia's books introduced us to a delicious new world' Sam and Sam Clarke
