Book description
"This is an outstanding collection that will surely win readers over and inspire many a meal." 'ÄîPublishers Weekly "With this stunning collection of approachable Middle Eastern recipes, the author dispels the notion that Persian, Turkish, Arab, and Armenian cuisines are too complicated for home cooks. In six chapters overflowing with photos of vibrantly sauced and garnished foods, she presents small plates, breads, salads, desserts, and other dishes that can be served individually or as part of a feast. VERDICT In a word, outstanding." 'ÄîLibrary Journal, starred review "This is Ottolenghi with rocket fuel." 'ÄîThe Times "Loving Persiana."

'ÄîGizzi Erskine "Sabrina cooks the kind of food I love to eat: lots of flavors distilled out of love and generosity. In this book Sabrina demystifies the use of spices.
