Book alert!

The previous three posts bring me to another suggestion for your already creaking book shelves.

There are some books that are destined to stay on your shelves gathering dust and there are others, as in this case, that become invaluable and form part of an ever growing reference library. If it's possible to become attached to inanimate objects, books do it for me!

If you've enjoyed the “sharing” theme and want to know more, why not try Claudia Roden's “Arabesque A taste of Morocco, Turkey & Lebanon”. This jewel was first published in 2005 so I suppose in today's terms of cookery book publication it's probably not on the best seller list.

This book is bursting at the seams with history and information from all three Countries mentioned along with recipes covering starters, mezze, mains and desserts.

If you liked the posts on tagines and mezze you'll love it.

I know that these days the fashion is to up-date or re-work a recipe and there may be certain circumstances where it's appropriate, but there are some books where the expression “if it ain't broke don't fix it” most definitely applies and this book is one of them.



Is your appetite suitably whetted? If so, there are more jewels from Claudia Roden – A New Book of Middle Eastern Food, Tamarind & Saffron, Mediterranean Cookery – the list goes on.

Inspirational!
