A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Arak and Mezze celebrates two of the Levant s cherished traditions: the aniseed-flavoured spirit that inspired the great eaux de vie of Europe, and the appetizers that have become a byword for all that is delicious and healthy in Lebanese food. Karam and Schiller explore the roots of arak making, its place in the history of alcohol distillation, its role in Lebanese society and the way in which it has shaped the Lebanese rural tradition. Karam has travelled the length and breadth of Lebanon to assemble these traditional (and not-so-traditional) recipes with which to prepare the most authentic and mouth-watering Lebanese appetizers. Illustrated with Schiller s stunning images, Arak and Mezze is at once a travel guide, a cookbook and a social history a book to read and savour.
