Middle Eastern food is meant for sharing, and in The Jewelled Table, Bethany Kehdy departs from the common mezze theme to explore the way locals cook, eat and entertain at home
Includes more than 80 ancient and everyday recipes from the Middle East, reinterpreted and made accessible for cooking in a Western kitchen.
'Bethany, above all, has an honesty of approach, as well as the sense of playfulness and sheer enjoyment that springs off each page, that makes her food so damn appealing. If there’s one thing Bethany wants us to take away from her remarkable research and artistic courage – and it’s a sentiment I wholeheartedly endorse – it’s that cooking (and eating!) are not meant to be a challenge, but sexy and intoxicating. And whats more enticing than that?'
