Interweaving history, stories, and her own observations, she gives us 150 of the most delectable recipes: some of them new discoveries, some reworkings of classic dishes&#8212;all of them made even more accessible and delicious for today&#8217;s home cook.<br><br>From Morocco, the most exquisite and refined cuisine of North Africa: couscous dishes; multilayered pies; delicately flavored <i>tagine</i>s; ways of marrying meat, poultry, or fish with fruit to create extraordinary combinations of spicy, savory, and sweet.<br><br>From Turkey, a highly sophisticated cuisine that dates back to the Ottoman Empire yet reflects many new influences today: a delicious array of kebabs, fillo pies, eggplant dishes in many guises, bulgur and chickpea salads, stuffed grape leaves and peppers, and sweet puddings.<br><br>From Lebanon, a cuisine of great diversity: a wide variety of <i>mezze</i> (those tempting appetizers that can make a meal all on their own); dishes featuring sun-drenched Middle Eastern vegetables and dried legumes; and national specialties such as <i>kibbeh</i>, meatballs with pine nuts, and lamb shanks with yogurt.<br><br>Claudia Roden knows this part of the world so intimately that we delight in being in such good hands as she translates the subtle play of flavors and simple cooking techniques to our own home kitchens.</p> 440873 2005 Arabesque: A Taste of Morocco, Turkey, and Lebanon total:100|5:41|4:44|3:12|2:3|1:0| 100 423 182 25 452254 030726498X 9780307264985 99 25 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174886945m/452254.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/452254.Arabesque_A_Taste_of_Morocco_Turkey_and_Lebanon 4 0 false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 13:33:47 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 13:04:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 452254 030726498X 9780307264985 99 25 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174886945m/452254.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/452254.Arabesque_A_Taste_of_Morocco_Turkey_and_Lebanon 4 0 false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 02:05:30 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 18 17:14:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 452254 030726498X 9780307264985 99 25 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174886945m/452254.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/452254.Arabesque_A_Taste_of_Morocco_Turkey_and_Lebanon 0 0 false Sun Dec 30 07:58:19 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 30 07:58:19 -0800 2007 more...]]> 452254 030726498X 9780307264985 99 25 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174886945m/452254.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/452254.Arabesque_A_Taste_of_Morocco_Turkey_and_Lebanon 2 0 false Fri Nov 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 08:05:47 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 12:14:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 452254 030726498X 9780307264985 99 25 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174886945m/452254.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/452254.Arabesque_A_Taste_of_Morocco_Turkey_and_Lebanon 4 0 false Mon Dec 15 08:17:01 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 08:17:51 -0800 2008 452254 030726498X 9780307264985 99 25 4.23 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174886945m/452254.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/452254.Arabesque_A_Taste_of_Morocco_Turkey_and_Lebanon 4 0 false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 13 11:25:28 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 13 11:29:38 -0700 2007 New Yorker had a profile of Claudia Roden, which led me to head to go out and get a library card.
