# Arabesque: A Taste of Morocco, Turkey, and Lebanon: A Cookbook - Hardcover

by **Claudia Roden** (Author)

****Morocco, Turkey, and Lebanon offer **some of the world's most exciting cuisines. In this delectable cookbook, t**he award-winning, bestselling author of _The Book of Jewish Cooking_ and _Claudia Roden's Mediterranean_ translates the subtle play of flavors and cooking techniques to our own home kitchens.********

Interweaving history, stories, and her own observations, she gives us 150 of the most delicious recipes: some of them new discoveries, some reworkings of classic dishes--all of them made even more accessible and delicious for today's home cook.

From Morocco, the most exquisite and refined cuisine of North Africa: couscous dishes; multilayered pies; delicately flavored _tagine_s; ways of marrying meat, poultry, or fish with fruit to create extraordinary combinations of spicy, savory, and sweet.

From Turkey, a highly sophisticated cuisine that dates back to the Ottoman Empire yet reflects many new influences today: a delicious array of kebabs, fillo pies, eggplant dishes in many guises, bulgur and chickpea salads, stuffed grape leaves and peppers, and sweet puddings.

From Lebanon, a cuisine of great diversity: a wide variety of _mezze_ (those tempting appetizers that can make a meal all on their own); dishes featuring sun-drenched Middle Eastern vegetables and dried legumes; and national specialties such as _kibbeh_, meatballs with pine nuts, and lamb shanks with yogurt.
