"[Helou's] range of knowledge and unparalleled authority make her
just the kind of cook you want by your side when baking a Moroccan
flatbread, preparing an Indonesian satay and anything else along the
way."-- Yotam Ottolenghi
A richly colorful and exceptionally varied cookbook of timeless
recipes from across the Islamic world
In Feast, award-winning chef Anissa Helou--an authority on the cooking
of North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East--shares her
extraordinary range of beloved, time-tested recipes and stories from
cuisines throughout the Muslim world.
Helou has lived and traveled widely in this region, from Egypt to Syria,
Iran to Indonesia, gathering some of its finest and most flavorful
recipes for bread, rice, meats, fish, spices, and sweets. With sweeping
knowledge and vision, Helou delves into the enormous variety of dishes
associated with Arab, Persian, Mughal (or South Asian), and North
African cooking, collecting favorites like biryani or Turkish kebabs
along with lesser known specialties such as Zanzibari grilled fish in
coconut sauce or Tunisian chickpea soup. Suffused with history, brought
to life with stunning photographs, and inflected by Helou's humor,
charm, and sophistication, Feast is an indispensable addition to the
culinary canon featuring some of the world's most inventive cultures and
peoples.
