A journey through space and flavors, this book offers the surprising
experience of meeting Saudi people through their food. 32 recipes for
starters, main courses, and desserts have been selected among the
thousands submitted by Saudi families in response to an initiative of
the Kingdom's Ministry of Culture. Illustrated by charming shots of
Saudi cooks in the intimacy of their kitchens and organized in 5
chapters - Rice, Cardamom, Lamb, Dates, and Wheat - the recipes are easy
to reproduce at home, with step-by-step instructions and photographs.
Texts penned by culinary experts also introduce readers to local
history, dietary traditions, proverbs, and anecdotes that uncover a
genuine way of life, a tradition of hospitality, and an inviting
culinary heritage.
