Richly colorful and 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, Indonesia to Pakistan, gathering some of its countries’ finest and most flavorful recipes for bread, rice, meats, fish, 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 and Turkish kebabs along with lesser-known specialties such as Zanzibari grilled fish in coconut sauce and Tunisian chickpea soup. Suffused with history, brought to life with stunning full-color photographs, and inflected with 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.
