The basic diet largely comprised, and still does, dates, rice, milk, goat or lamb meat and coffee.The patchwork of peoples and countries that form this medley comprise dishes from Egypt – some of the oldest recipes in the world such as melokhia, the famous soup of the Pharaohs. From Syria – an enormous range of vegetable salads. From Lebanon – sun-ripened fruits. From Iraq – date, hazelnut, mushroom and fig recipes. From Armenia and Kurdistan – the cracked wheat burghul dishes. From Cappadocia – the exotic flavors of sesame and tahini. From the Caucasus – the vast array of kebabs. From Assyria and Armenia – classic stuffed vegetable dishes – mahsi, and from Persia – yogurt dishes, fabulous rice dishes, sherbets and sweet and sour dishes.Incorporating the history, traditions, and techniques of these countries Arto der Haroutunian has assembled an unparalleled breadth of recipes representing the whole gamut of Arab cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/arto-der-haroutunian-books\"\u003eArto Der Haroutunian\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Granada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780583135597\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Granada","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £6.54","offer_id":47912331575473,"sku":"SB-0583135595-C4","price":6.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0583135595.jpg?v=1789248322"},{"product_id":"modern-jewish-cookery-panther-books","title":"Modern Jewish Cookery (Panther Books)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/arto-der-haroutunian-books\"\u003eArto Der Haroutunian\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e HarperCollins Distribution Servi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0586061681\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Distribution Ser","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47912344027313,"sku":"SB-0586061681-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0586061681.png?v=1789335199"},{"product_id":"middle-eastern-cookery","title":"Middle Eastern Cookery","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll Arto der Haroutunian’s twelve cookbooks written in the 1980s became classics; it was his belief that the rich culinary tradition of the Middle East is the main source of many of our Western cuisines and his books were intended as an introduction to that tradition.
