A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is the paperback edition of the much acclaimed "Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons", which was shortlisted for The Glenfiddich Food Book of the Year, and features enchanting dishes from the Middle East, Mediterranean and North Africa. Divided into 12 chapters based on ingredients, "Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons" introduces the home cook both to unusual ingredients and to unusual ways to cook with old favourites. Diana Henry is a great new voice in the cookery world, and in this book's recipes - all of which herald from the Mediterranean, North Africa and Middle East - she uses modern classic ingredients such as olive oil, coriander, chilli and dates in such refreshing and delicious ways that the reader will taste them as if for the first time. Each dish has an irresistible charm, either because it uses 'exotic' ingredients such as flower waters, pomegranates and cardamom, or because of its name (consider Ice in Heaven, an Egyptian pudding of rose-scented rice and almonds), or because of its unusual use of ingredients (think of Middle Eastern Orange Cake, made almost entirely of pureed whole cooked oranges).

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Spanish Sausages and Migas, Chilled Avocado and Coriander Soup, Herb-Scented Chocolate Truffles: this irresistibly evocative cookbook features more than 100 captivating dishes from throughout the Mediterranean, Middle East, and North Africa. Lusciously photographed by award-winning lensman Jason Lowe, and compiled by an exciting new voice in the cookery world, these recipes combine flavors in ways long forgotten-or never even discovered-in the western kitchen. Diana Henry uses such classic ingredients as olive oil, coriander, chili, and dates in refreshing new ways, and also incorporates a banquet of exotic and aromatic components, including flower waters, pomegranates, and cardamom. Each selection has an irresistible charm, from the sea-and-salt infused (Catalan Salt Cod and Pepper Gratin) to the heavenly sweet (Middle Eastern Orange Cake).
