Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons: Enchanting Dishes from the Middle East, Mediterranean and North Africa (Diana Henry)

Discover the delicious flavors of the Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa in this book from bestselling cookery writer Diana Henry.

A hardcover reissue of Henry's 2002 culinary exploration of the Mediterranean, Middle East, and North Africa, in which she gathers together dishes that combine exotic flavors in ways long forgotten -- or never discovered -- by many Western cooks. 

Colorful, aromatic and perfumed ingredients, from leathery pomegranates, with their insides bursting with ruby seeds, to flower-waters that allow you to drink in the scent of a garden, combine to bring an intoxicating whiff of the exotic to your table and pleasure to your kitchen. The core ingredients of these cuisines are increasingly available so dishes such as Chermoula marinated Tuna, Fennel, Pomegranate and Feta Salad, and Lavender, Orange and Almond Cake are both delicious and accessible to cook.
