100 sweet recipes that put a modern twist on the flavours of the Middle East
The Middle East - from North Africa and Moorish Spain, through Turkey, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan to Iran and the Arabian Peninsula - has long had a vibrant tradition of home-style vegetarian cuisine, from their abundant salads, dips and breads to delicious and hearty main meals. Based on the freshest ingredients and cooked from the heart, Greg and Lucy Malouf's recipes are designed to be mixed and matched for sharing. With its stunning photography, New Feast offers modern interpretations of Middle Eastern food with more than 130 recipes inspired by the spirit of generosity that characterises the region. While vegetables are the stars, the recipes have variety with a selection of grains, legumes, couscous and rice, plus breads, butters, dips and preserves, and even an enticing assortment of fruit-focused ice creams, puddings, pastries and cakes. Think Winter tabbouleh; Eggplant pilaf with yoghurt & zhoug; Charred corncobs with almond-saffron butter; Spicy red hummus and Orange baklava cigars. Now available in a compact hardback, New Feast - one of eight books in the Maloufs' series of highly acclaimed food and travel books - is a rich and diverse compendium of vegetarian recipes with a Middle Eastern touch.
Greg Malouf returns to the land of his ancestors to explore its broad and influential cuisine. From hearty peasant dishes to subtly spiced specialities from ancient origins, the dishes are complex in flavour yet not overly complicated to make at home.
From apricots to couscous, pomegranates to silverbeet, this book welcomes the stars of Arabic cooking into the modern kitchen with descriptions of the history and the role the ingredients play, information on selecting and using them, and exciting recipes.
A seductive cookbook celebrating the feasts and flavors of the Middle East and North Africa. Greg and Lucy Malouf have compiled this collection of mouthwatering recipes inspired by the flavors of North Africa, Spain, the eastern Mediterranean, and the Middle East-regions united by a common thread that winds its way back to Arabia. Moorish begins with recipes for spice blends, dressings, relishes, pickles, and preserves that best define the cuisine. With these basics, you'll be able to transform the most mundane ingredients into delicious snacks and soups, meat, vegetable and poultry dishes, and irresistible cakes and desserts. Toss preserved lemon through risotto, or spice up a Sunday lamb roast with a baharat spice mix. Transform humble chicken paillard with savory cumin butter, or try Atlantic salmon grilled with sumac. For dessert, make a delectable mango tart filled with orange-blossom water, or liven up weekend breakfast with hot lemon fritters and cinnamon sugar. Greg and Lucy want people to become as comfortable with the ingredients, techniques, and dishes in Moorish as they are with more familiar foods. Beautifully photographed and written in Lucy's engaging style, Moorish is, above all, a passionate celebration of flavor that will inspire and delight the adventurous home cook.
