'The Arabesque Table is full to the brim with dishes which are
rooted in tradition and at the same time creatively (and
deliciously!) transcend it. It is wonderful!' - Yotam Ottolenghi
'Refreshing is ... the best word to describe Ms. Kassis's book ...
The Arabesque Table zooms out, examining both the history and the
evolution of Arab dishes, suggesting another, richer approach to
understanding food.' - Wall Street Journal Much-loved author and
James Beard nominee Reem Kassis presents an acclaimed and unique
collection of original contemporary recipes tracing the rich
history of Arab cuisine. The Arabesque Table takes inspiration from
the traditional food of the Arab world, weaving Reem Kassis's
historic research and cultural knowledge with her contemporary
interpretations of an ancient, remarkably diverse cuisine. In her
personal, engaging voice, Reem bridges past and present to open up
the world of Arabic cooking today, showcasing a mosaic of 130
delicious, accessible home recipes. Organized by primary
ingredient, the recipes and vivid photographs bring the dishes to
life while her narrative offers not only a sense of taste, but a
sense of time and place as well. More than just a compilation of
modern Arabic recipes, The Arabesque Table celebrates the evolution
of Arab cuisine and the stories of cross-cultural connection it
recounts, paying tribute to the history and journey that have led
to this point. With the past on full display in this intensively
researched and exciting book, you will find dishes from the Golden
Age of Islam: such as Narjissiya (a fava bean and egg hash) and
Makmoora (a layered chicken, onion and pine nut pot pie), as well
as contemporary and globally inspired interpretations: such as
Tahini Cheesecake and Caramelized Butternut Squash Fatteh with
Za'atar, revealing a cuisine that is vibrant, nourishing, and
exciting, but above all, reminding us of how powerful food is in
defining the relationship between people, place and identity.
