Winner of the Guild of Food Writers Food and Travel Award 2017
'This is a book to delight food lovers, travel hounds and history
buffs alike.' The Telegraph 'As an armchair traveler, I was led by
Caroline Eden's firsthand account of journeys to the Uzbek city of
Samarkand and other exotic destinations, then lured into the
kitchen by Eleanor Ford's fine recipes' New York Times 'A
particularly expansive and ambitious example of the genre. Imagine
a Lonely Planet guide to Uzbekistan and beyond, with a hundred
recipes.' LA Times 'I am LOVING it! So interesting to see so many
familiar but also lesser known recipes! Beautiful pictures too!
Love the styling! Love it!' Sabrina Ghayour Over hundreds of years,
various ethnic groups have passed through Samarkand, sharing and
influencing each other's cuisine and leaving their culinary stamp.
This book is a love letter to Central Asia and the Caucasus,
containing personal travel essays and recipes little known in the
West that have been expertly adapted for the home cook. An array of
delicious dishes will introduce the region and its different ethnic
groups - Uzbek, Tajik, Russian, Turkish, Korean, Caucasian and
Jewish - along with a detailed introduction on the Silk Road and a
useful store cupboard of essential ingredients. Chapters are
divided into Shared Table, Soups, Roast Meats & Kebabs, Warming
Dishes, Pilavs & Plovs, Accompaniments, Breads & Doughs,
Drinks and Desserts. 100 recipes are showcased, including Apricot
& Red Lentil Soup, Chapli Kebabs with Tomato Relish, Rosh
Hashanah Palov with Barberries, Pomegranate and Quince, Curd
Pancakes with Red Berry Compote and the all-important breads of the
region. And with evocative travel features like On the Road to
Samarkand, A Banquet on the Caspian Sea and Shopping for Spices
under Solomon's Throne, you will be charmed and enticed by this
region and its cuisine, which has remained relatively untouched in
centuries.
