Prepare delicious and healthy meals with this award-winning Arabian cookbook

For untold centuries, the Bedouin of the Arabian Peninsula, in their desert tents, have served their honored guests lavish meals featuring roasted lamb with rice. Bedouin hospitality has not changed over the ages, but Arabian cuisine has undergone a remarkable evolution in the last 100 years, making it extremely diverse. This diversity is due, in part, to the explosion of wealth on the Arabian peninsula which has drawn people--along with their foods and cooking methods--from around the world.

The blending of these culinary worlds has produced something remarkable. In The Arabian Nights Cookbook , author Habeeb Salloum has compiled an amazing array of recipes that celebrate this blending of cultures while still making it compatible with the everyday kitchens of the Western world. From the familiar, Hummus Bi-Tahini, to the unique, Stuffed Lamb, Salloum offers an accessible world of savory tastes and memory provoking aromas.

review:
Nice book with lots of recipe ideas from various cuisines - which of course also means lots of different kinds of ingredients, some of which could be difficult or expensive to obtain. I appreciate her attitude about introducing little ones to as wide variety of tastes and textures as possible, in a visually appealing way. I went through each section just picking out the recipes which seemed feasible for me (there were many), as I can't buy many extra ingredients which I don't typically use. Gives you many new ideas, including for healthy snacks and desserts, such as flax and chia seeds integrated into recipes for an additional omega-3 boost.
