The Cookbook Club: A Book of Middle Eastern Food
Prior to Claudia Roden's "A Book of Middle Eastern Food," all Middle Eastern cookbooks in English were translations of medieval recipes. Roden is not only a cookbook writer but a cultural anthropologist. She began to source recipes from fellow refugees and immigrants who longed for their native foods. Her story is a fascinating one, her books groundbreaking. First published in the United Kingdom, it was released in the United States in 1972 to high praise.
Join Maite to discuss this cookbook and prepare a 6-course meal adapted from its recipes.
