A propos de cet article

The first edition, first printing, dated 1985. Original colour illustrated wraps 21x26cm. Printed by Printers Corporation SA, Spain. 168pp with colour photos by Uwe Wruck (Boushari Studios) and Gustavo Ferrari, and illustrations and calligraphy by Abdul Hafeez. Very good. Extremely rare institutionally, unrecorded on Worldcat and Library Hub, with the former only recording 1 location for the 2nd printing (1993). Suzi Wells, a freelance writer and TV presenter co-wrote "Traditions: The Folklore of Women and Children in Kuwait" with Bazza Al-Batini (1987). She taught English at the Telecommunications Training Centre, and prepared TEFL textbooks for Heinemann. Her husband Keith, Arab Times journalist and author of the Wizr trilogy (1979-84), is here credited with the layout, and for being "long-suffering and now overweight". Wells opens with a description of Kuwaiti cookery, key ingredients, and their increasing availability. She draws similarities with recipes throughout the Gulf and wider region. She reflects on the single daily meal of the poorest Bedouin (dates and camel's milk occasionally with rice), their famed hospitality, and how desert heritage continues to be recalled on special occasions. She addresses the coffee making ceremony referencing HRP Dickson. She discusses the impact of Kuwait's seafaring tradition in introducing spices from India and Oman. She closes with a culinary description of Eids and Ramadan, and customs at the end of a meal. Her preliminaries include a glossary of unusual ingredients, and an English-Arabic shopping guide. In a note on weights and measures she observes "The Arab woman regards cookery as an art rather than a science and uses cup and spoon to measure with rather than scales". The cookbook itself was prepared with much support from the Holiday Inn in Kuwait, with the pictured dishes prepared by its Executive Chef Bernard Cuq. These are arranged into starters and salads, soups, fish, chicken, meat, rice, vegetables, desserts, and a miscellany including baharat, breads, drinks, sauces, spices etc. (References: Suzi Wells' website; bio in Al-Batini and Wells, Traditions).…
