The Jewelled Table by Bethany Kehdy
In The Jewelled Table, Bethany Kehdy takes classic and traditional recipes and demystifies them, in turn reinterpreting them for a modern cook, without sacrificing authenticity. Over 80 ancient and every day recipes from the Middle East are reinterpreted and made accessible for cooking in a Western kitchen without losing their integrity. Find out the secret to nailing hummus once and for all, whip up a Persian herb frittata and make an impressive, delicious Ox cheek, shallot and rhubarb stew. From simple weeknight suppers to lazy brunches, Sunday dinners, celebratory feasts, and last-minute mayhem, Bethany illustrates that with a few key ingredients, Middle Eastern food is the perfect fit for every occasion. Featuring menu plans, detailed instructions on how to cook the recipes, as well as charming anecdotes throughout from Bethany's own experiences in the Middle East, all set to the backdrop of beautiful location shots, The Jewelled Table is an essential cookbook for anyone who loves the flavors of the Middle East.
'Bethany, above all, has an honesty of approach, as well as the sense of playfulness and sheer enjoyment that springs off each page, that makes her food so damn appealingIf there’s one thing Bethany wants us to take away from her remarkable research and artistic courage – and it’s a sentiment I wholeheartedly endorse – it’s that cooking (and eating!) are not meant to be a challenge, but sexy and intoxicating. And whats more enticing than that?' -- Greg Malouf
