Food too good to be the sole preserve of vegetarians

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 21 octobre 2011

Achat vérifié

Sally Butcher's debut Persia in Peckham received many rave reviews. Personally I thought it was okay, when measured against other Iranian cookbooks available, and thought the presentation lacking and the writing style a bit irritating at times.

This new book covering the wider Middle East would appear, from the title and strapline, to be targetted at vegetarians. Since meat is still a special occasion food for many in the region, any faithful book on its cuisine should be largely vegetarian anyway. It's only to pander to rich, Western eating habits that so many Middle Eastern cookbooks contain so many meat dishes. This is food too good to be the sole preserve of vegetarians.

The recipes here cover the range from the well known to the less familiar but still authentic, through to many 'Middle Eastern inspired' creations by Ms Butcher herself. There's plenty in here I would love to make, and it's not too often you can say that of the many cookbook offerings saturating the market these days. I particularly like the preserves section, and the 'muraba-e murch-e surkh wa piaz' (onion, chilli and mint jam) will probably be one of the first things here I will produce. It should be noted as a minor caution that there are a number of recipes involving ingredients which would undoubtedly be easy to source if you live down the Edgeware Road (moghrabieh, kashk, quroot, reshteh, pekmez and so on) but not if like me you live in deepest Devon.

This is a better presented work than 'Persia in Peckham', better laid out and with reasonably plentiful photographs of some of the dishes. The mildly irritating, 'jocular' (depending on your point of view) writing style remains. Nevertheless a recommended book.

I couldn't wait to thumb through the pages of this book and dipped into it as soon as I arrived. It more than lived up to my expectations and I thought 'this book deserves to win a prize!' then I turned to the back cover to see it already had! And been Sunday Times cook book of the year. I'm not suprised.

The recipies are wonderful, they're tasty and easy to make. You need a few specialist ingredients but I rang Sally at her shop and she put a few together for me by mail order. The photography is stunning, there are interesting asides in the text that relate to the food which makes it a little like 'Arabian Nights' and really help us understand the culture and add to the mood.

There are also a few articles that explain specific parts of middle east cooking, such as how spices are grouped together etc. It's wonderful to try food which isn't hotly spiced like indian but is very different from mediterranean. It also has a lovely 'voice' throughout it which explains things and adds the odd funny aside, it's like having a knowledgeable, funny middle eastern friend next to you!

The photographs are a treat too, it must have taken a long time and a lot of care to put together, but it was well worth it!

All that remains is to ask the BBC to make a telly programme of it. Imagine the scene, it's a cold, grey day in the UK, you settle on the sofa with a cup of tea and switch the telly on. You see pictures of the middle east, with Sally cooking jewelled rice, treats doused in pomegrante, lush meals of rice, aubergine, figs.... I think that's the perfect tonic and I'm off to email the BBC! Its a love letter to the country really, Sally obviously really loves the land and it's food and loves telling us all about it. Let's have more Sally!

Gorgeous Middle-Eastern Vegetarian dishes

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 3 février 2016

Achat vérifié

I love Middle Eastern cuisine, so have already sampled quite a few of the recipes in Sally's book. You'll find well known recipees like Couscous, while this is balanced with lesser known ones like 'Khoresht-e-Holu' (Chillied Peach stew on page 212). Although, I like the traditional dishes, my eyes were drawn to the new dishes, which I hadn't tried, let alone cooked. Interesting highlights and particular mention go to 'Khoresht-e-Carats' (Herby Celery Casserole on page 50), 'Jahcheen Estanaji' (Persian Rice Cake on page 68), 'Baid bi Jamaten' (Cheese baked egg stuffed tomatoes on page 82), 'Qorma-e-Maash' (Mung Bean Casserole on page 116) and 'Firik Pilau' (Turkish Green Wheat Pilau on page 152). The book grabs the attention of the reader, by also providing a background to each of the recipes, thereby enhancing the interest. I have found that the recipes are easy to make with the simple and easy to follow instructions, and as my confidence has increased, I have started to try some of the more complex dishes. All in all, once you've opened it, this cookery book is extremely hard to put down. A brilliant reference book on an area of cuisine (Middle-Eastern) whose delights are still being discovered.

Not just for herbivores

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 21 janvier 2012

The author has a fun and light-hearted writing style and I enjoyed reading the book almost as much as I enjoyed the recipes. Vegetables are central to middle-eastern cuisine and this is a pre-requisite for liking this book. The recipes are authentic and the author displays impressive knowledge. The book is boken down into the following chapters:

bread and pastry (my personal favourite)
herbs and salad
dairy and eggs
soup
legumes and pulses
rice and grains
vegetables
cooking with fruit
saucing, pickling and preserving
desserts
index
further reading
ackowledgements

The recipes cover cuisine from most of the middle east. What might some readers not like? I hope nothing, but some ingredients, from past experience, I know will be perceived as 'exotic'. However, substitutions are always suggested. Many of the recipes could be used (at the risk of blasphemy!)in conjuction with meat and fish. Very good book for anyone who enjoys or is keen to discover middle-eastern food.

Outstanding!

This is a must have for any vegetarian - beautifully produced (I love the covers, with their fuzzy felt feel), great matt finish photos, production values as high as they could be, bar no marking ribbons (but one would not be enough!) and beautifully thought through. The author's previous book was also very good (Persia in Peckham)but this is exceptional. My veggie husband grabbed it and ordered me to cook a couple of dishes for a family lunch - they were both easyish, especially with a willing prep cook, and very tasty.

Can't recommend this highly enough - you won't need to go to Peckham for ingredients, though that would be fun, but different enough to bring new tastes to your table - try the couscous with curried sweet potatoes and chickpeas - I made enough for 6 and it vanished with 3 vegetarians, partly because all the carnivores pinched it! Loved the stories too - Sally Butcher is a good writer apart from being a good cook.

Tasty stories

I love the recepies, on the whole they are tasty, some like Harira are a little bland. I especially liked the writing and the stories that came with the recipes, it really took me to far away places.

Tolles Buch mit einfachen und umsetzbaren Rezepten

Commenté en Allemagne 🇩🇪 le 27 avril 2016

Achat vérifié

Wer sich für die Küche des Mittleren Ostens interessiert, ist hier genau richtig. Das Buch ist gut aufgemacht und gut nach Hauptzutaten gegliedert. Die Rezeptauswahl umfasst alle Länder des Mittleren Ostens und ist sehr vielfältig. Die Rezepte sind nicht aufwendig und alle Zutaten sind relativ einfach zu bekommen. Sehr gut gefällt mir die Angabe der Mengen und Gewichte sowohl in cups als auch Gramm, sodass man nicht umrechnen muss. Wer allerdings viele Bilder mag, wird hier nicht auf seine Kosten kommen. Nicht jedes Rezept hat ein eigenes Bild, aber die Bilder die da sind, sind sehr schön und ansprechend. Alles in Allem ein schönes Kochbuch.

Great Cover, disappointing range of dishes for me.

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 8 décembre 2013

Achat vérifié

This book has a beautiful, textured cover. From the title, one gets the impression that there will be dishes from all parts of Middle East - which is a big region. There are lots of dishes from Iran and Turkey. I was disappointed that not more Lebanese food or food from the Gulf states were not represented. I'm not sure I'll actually cook anything apart from maybe a couple of the halloumi dishes. The recipes seem a bit complicated. There's definitely not enough photography. The book would have been greatly enhanced by more photos and more variety and more of the basic middle eastern foods. Would I recommend? Hmmm....not really sure
