The Arabian Delights Cookbook by Anne Marie Weiss-Armush Lowell House 1994 First Edition
Title: The Arabian Delights Cookbook: Mediterranean Cuisines from Mecca to Marrakesh
Author: Anne Marie Weiss-Armush
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Lowell House 1994
Edition: First Edition
ISBN: 9781565651265
Size: 6.25 X 9.25 X 1.3 * 314 pages
Synopsis: "You have shared our bread and our salt, thus, you have become our sister."
This was the author's welcome to the hospitality of the Arab world. The Arabian Delights Cookbook describes a heritage of generosity centered around the home and the bounteous and zesty meals served there.
Anne Marie Weiss-Armush, with her intimate experience of Middle Eastern culture, gives you a detailed and accurate treasury of regional Arab cooking with exciting recipes that have never appeared before. Her cooking expertise reveals both the variety and the simplicity of this unfamiliar Mediterranean cuisine.
This is a fare so light and innovative you could have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Try Yoghurt Cheese Balls drizzled with olive oil and crumbled mint for breakfast, or the fancier Kileicha Crescents Stuffed with Walnuts. For lunch there's a Shepherd's Vegetable Salad with White Cheese, spiced with serrano chili and green onions and garnished with black olives and feta cheese, along with quick and comforting Split Pea and Potato Potage from Kurdistan. And a dinner of Pilaf with Lemon Garlic Chicken and Quick Vegetables à la Cairo will make your day and your reputation.
The Arabian Delights Cookbook gives you flavors from the farthest reaches of Middle Eastern lands: Quick Tomato Broth with Noodles from Syria (this one uses fine fideo vermicelli and a delicate touch of tender lean beef or lamb), Libyan Pasta with Orange-Blossom Chicken and Raisins, Basmati Rice with Crisped Onion from the Gulf States, and Saudi Arabia's Poblano Chilies with Cilantro Cheese Stuffing.
Accompanying the recipes and their innumerable regional variations are delightful tales of life along the Arabian Gulf and the southern Mediterranean. Anne Marie's descriptions of veiled women, rugged fishermen and merchants, cosmopolitan chefs, and poised village matrons are woven throughout the text. This is a unique collection of vibrant recipes and the enchanting people who prepare them.
Anne Marie Weiss-Armush lived in Saudi Arabia for 11 years and traveled extensively throughout the Middle East, developing a love of Arab culture and collecting the precious recipes of these healthy and hearty cuisines. She is the author of Arabian Cuisine and has lectured on Arab culture at the Smithsonian Institution. Her articles on Middle Eastern cookery have appeared in the Saudi Gazette, the Arab News, and The Dallas Morning News.
