The Complete Middle East Cookbook is a classic work which has been unsurpassed since it was first published in 1979. This amazing book is now 25 years old and still going strong and Grub Street is issuing a revised updated edition.
The cooking of the Middle East has always had its devotees but eating Lebanese, Turkish or Greek food has never been as popular as it is now. Middle Eastern restaurants abound and every supermarket carries ranges of all the essential ingredients; indeed pitta bread is now as easily found as a sliced white loaf and hummus is staple fare.
This comprehensive bible features recipes from Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Armenia, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Iran and Afghanistan.
The introduction to each chapter gives an insight into the food, lifestyle and cooking methods of the area, peppered with snippets of history.
While still keeping the traditional flavour of the cooking, Tess has updated preparation methods in many instances using contemporary appliances. She is also aware that many cooks today are making their own bread, pickles and preserves, and these are a special feature of the book. Information on how to preserve olives, make cheese and yoghurt and fascinating breads make this book an essential addition to any cookbook collection.
Tess Mallos, born in Australia of Greek parents, has known Greek cookery from childhood. She has worked as a cookery consultant for many years, specialising in recipe development and writing, as well as food preparation for photography.
