I love Middle Eastern food, but in the area where I live, there just aren't any restaurants in the area. This book solved my craving for all my favorites. It offers the secrets of creating perfect falafel, shawarma, hummus, tabbouleh, spinach filled filo triangles, baklawa and so many more dishes I can't wait to try. Just flipping through the book looking at the fabulous photographs will make your mouth water.
Recipes are arranged by Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Dessert, and Mezze. Mezze translated from Arabic means sharing. Small plates, similar to Tapas. There are also Conversion Charts, a dictionary of Arabic ingredients and tools. The book is full of the author's stories and ideas about how to serve each dish.
The hummus and tabbouleh recipes were fantastic. I can't wait to plan an entire meal.
