Classic Palestinian Cookery by Christiane Dabdoub Nasser
This cookbook features a rich variety of dishes characteristic of the eastern regions of the Mediterranean and their culinary cultures. It is a collection of over 100 recipes - salads, soups, one-dish meals, stews and desserts - which represent traditional Palestinian cooking but also expose possibilities for a wider and more eclectic cuisine. This is also a very contemporary cookery book, aware of the need for more health-oriented and less time-consuming recipes while preserving the heritage handed down through the generations. The culinary experience is enriched by the incorporation of anecdotes, excerpts and illustrations of cultural and celebratory traditions from different regions of Palestine.
'Dabdoub Nasser writes beautifully and with conviction of traditional Palestinian foods' Minneapolis Star Tribune 'A welcome addition to any kitchen ... A promise of great meals to come.' Banipal 'Nasser has done a valuable service to Palestinian culture ... recipes are clear, thorough and easy to follow.' Saudi Gazette 'It is thrilling when an old cuisine finds a place on the gastronomic map. This charming book is about good real food with delicious flavours and centuries of tradition behind it.' Claudia Roden
