Arabesque (Deluxe Hardcover Edition)
by Greg & Lucy Malouf $49.95
Greg Malouf is widely admired as one of Australia's
most innovative and influential chefs. His passion for
the food of his Lebanese heritage, combined with his
extensive travels, have led him to forge a modern
Middle Eastern cuisine.
Arabesque, co-written with Lucy Malouf, is a much-
loved guide to the food of the Middle East. From
apricots to cous cous, pomegranates to silverbeet,
this book welcomes the stars of Arabic cooking into
the modern kitchen with descriptions of the history
and the role the ingredients play, information on
selecting and using them, and exciting recipes.
The collection of 170 recipes is not slavish to
tradition, but rather Greg's modern takes on the food
he has grown up with. Seven-Vegetable Couscous is
served with Onion Jam and Green Harissa Broth, and
Salmon Kibbeh Nayeh is served with Saffron Yoghurt
Cheese. Recipes for things like preserved lemons and
chermoula provide you with the basics, while dishes
like Cardamom Honey- Glazed Roast Duck and Turkish
Coffee Ice-Cream will dazzle.
Arabesque is a volume to treasure and a cookbook to
read and enjoy while discovering new experiences in
the kitchen. It is a must for anyone interested in new
flavours, techniques and culinary history, and is a
source of inspiration for professional chefs, keen
home cooks and gourmets alike.
