Artichoke to Za’atar

Modern Middle Eastern Food

Overview

From the publisher

This richly illustrated book offers a comprehensive collection of 170 recipes, organized alphabetically according to ingredients widely used in Middle Eastern cooking. Written by award-winning chef Greg Malouf and his writing partner, Lucy Malouf, Artichoke to Za’atar covers everything from the basics — almonds, lemons, and yogurt — to less widely known components such as pomegranates, rose water, and sumac.

A brief description and history of each ingredient is provided, along with invaluable tips on how to select, prepare, and cook it. Originally published in 1999 as Arabesque, this book has earned international acclaim as the ultimate guide to modern Middle Eastern cuisine by a chef who is considered a master of the genre. Artichoke to Za’atar is a volume to read, use, and treasure, a must for anyone interested in creative cooking and culinary history.
