New Middle Eastern Street Food
Author(s): Sally Butcher
An excellent collection of recipes presented with infectious humor and charm... Hot on the heels of The New Middle Eastern Vegetarian, Sally Butcher brings us The New Middle Eastern Street Food Cookbook: a fabulous collection of quick, healthy, and easy-to-prepare recipes from Snackistan, a fictitious land where tummies are always full, and there's a slightly naughty smile on every face. It features simple fare that people actually eat on a daily basis: street food, or dishes they prepare at home, or cook to share with friends, or look forward to indulging in at the end of the week. Street food has come of age and, increasingly, formal dining is being nudged aside in favor of meze-style spreads. In malls and farmers markets across the world, food on the hoof has become a stylish and popular way to feed. This book picks out the Middle East's most exciting street foods and meze dishes, together with a variety of homely and simple snack recipes elicited from family and friends. Chapters comprise Nuts and Nibbles, Fishy Things, Meat on Sticks, Meat Not on Sticks, Salady Stuff, Hot Veggie Dishes, Mostly Carbs, Puds, and Something to Wash it Down with. The burst of flavors is intoxicating, as is Sally's trademark wit and attention to detail—a must-buy for all Middle Eastern food enthusiasts. • Over 100 recipes for mouthwatering Middle Eastern snacks • All aspects of simple snack foods are covered: street food, home comfort food, meze-style spreads, even the drinks are included • Bright, eye-catching design and mouth-watering photography
Review(s):
"Butcher's boundless enthusiasm is contagious and beautifully displayed in her new collection of over 100 dishes, all clearly explained and vividly photographed. Her signature wit and humor make this book fun, and is sure to motivate home cooks to get into the kitchen to whip up exotic Middle Eastern fare from all over the globe." --Publishers Weekly
[This book] will educate and entertain you, not to mention feed you very, very well you will find these dishes flavorful, filling and deeply comforting-a 'culinary hug' from a foreign friend."
In her follow-up to 'The New Middle Eastern Vegetarian: Modern Recipes from Veggiestan' Butcher, who runs the London-based Persian food store Persepolis, offers snacks, mezze, and street foods from 'Snackistan'...Butcher's work contains...personality-filled headnotes...this volume will complement ethnic collections.
Focusing mainly on Middle Eastern snacks and street food, Butcher's book features some 100 easy recipes that appeal to all ages, appetites and adventure levels... As both a seasoned author and owner of celebrated Persian grocer Persepolis in London, Butcher clearly knows her way around kebabs and mezzes.
COOKBOOK OF THE WEEK...Butcher is a fan of the Iranian saying 'eat little, always eat', and her new book tells you how to do it in style, with delicious meze and street-food recipes that are quick to make and go well with an ambulant lifestyle.
