The Arabesque Table: Contemporary Recipes from the Arab World

Great recipes and a nicely produced and high quality book. Very well explained recipes and nice personal touches of the stories and inspiration behind each recipe. Not so much a "single meal" type of cookbook, more lots of smaller dishes that can come together to make a feast. Highly recommend.

I was really excited to get this book, to learn about the cuisine and read the stories. Unfortunately, it was more fusion, and the stories were sort of boring.

I was beyond impressed as I explored The Arabesque Table - the stories woven into each recipe, the culinary philosophy behind Reem's narratives, the questions that each page couples with the cooking methods and ingredients were only the beginning. Upon preparing some of the recipes (such as the Muhallabiyeh and Hibiscus Rose Tart), I found them to be very user-friendly especially to a beginner in cooking. As someone with an Arabic ethnic background, a lot of the smells and flavors hit home, albeit with many evolved modern twists that were very much appreciated. An absolute pleasure to indulge in - highly recommend for anyone remotely interested in the foods of the Arab World as we know it!!

What a precious book ! So many interesting recipes and small details.I tried a few recipes , very clear and thus easy to prepare. A Gem.
