Synopsis

Orient Express is for busy cooks who want a touch of the light, beautiful cuisine of the eastern Mediterranean.

Following her acclaimed Purple Citrus and Sweet Perfume, Silvena Rowe turns her focus to the delicious small dishes that you would find in the bustling street markets of Damascus or Istanbul - koftes, falafels and pilafs - as well as delicious puddings such as vanilla baklava, and chocolate and pistachio mousse.

In this treasure trove of a book she presents 100 light, enticing new recipes, perfectly balanced for mezze-style summer meals. This is a cuisine both for celebrating and sharing: Ottoman-inspired food, based around stunning combinations of sweet and sour - honey and cinnamon, saffron and sumac -and given a brilliant modern twist by one of the most exciting chefs working in Britain today.

Silvena Rowe has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the foods and culinary traditions of the eastern Mediterranean. Her cooking is light and the presentation of her dishes is elegant and sophisticated, while the flavours are powerful and the textures balanced. Her enthusiasm for the food of her heritage is evident on every page.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Silvena Rowe was born and raised in the ancient city of Plovdiv, just five hundred kilometres from the Ottoman capital of Constantinople, a place that fell under their rule as early as 1365, becoming the cultural centre of the Ottoman district of Rumelia, and remaining as part of the Empire for five hundred years. Over those centuries many Turks came to live in Plovdiv, giving the city its rich ethnicity. Her Turkish father instilled in her a love of cooking, and he passed down, as generations had before him, the traditions of the Ottoman cuising. Silvena's familial and professional backgrounds place her in a unique position to share with others the Eastern Mediterranean cuisine of the Ottoman Empire.

Silvena is the executive chef at the Baltic Group restaurants, which includes the London restaurants of Baltic, Chez Kristoff and Wodka. She regularly appears on Saturday Kitchen (BBC1) where she is the highest profile female chef. In the past she has appeared on ITV's Saturday Cook and Great Food Live (UKTV Food Nerwork) where she cooked on a weekly basis.

Her diverse experience in the food world ranges from everything to working in conjunction with major brands such as Waitrose's Delicatezze range which was launched under her name earlier this year, to writing for the Guardian and Love It magazine, to working on David Cronenberg's new film, Eastern Promises.
