Abboud Joseph - Rumi: Food Of Middle Eastern Appearance

Binding: Books
Description: How often has the phrase 'of Middle Eastern appearance been employed to evoke fear and prejudice? This cookbook is here to challenge that. Chef Joseph Abboud's food looks Middle Eastern because its proud origins are a little bit Lebanese a little bit Persian and a little bit Turkish - but it also represents the heart of an honest and enduring eatery in inner Melbourne's Brunswick named for the 13th - century poet. This is food cooked with an egalitarian ethos and yes with soul. Forget veg - forward this is hierarchy - free food; salads fish veg meat and toum (with almost everything) all command their place in a meal at Joe's table. Regulars will give thanks for classics like the three - cheese Sigaras the Rumi Meatballs and the famous Lamb Shoulder; everyone else has the joy of discovery ahead. To roll call a few there's a Fattoush for Every Season a delightfully 'inauthentic Broccoli Tabbouleh Joe's mother's Eggplant M Nazleh and The Quail That Anthony Bourdain Ate. Joe is wary of sharing the 60 - plus recipes in this book not for fear of divulging secrets so much as exposing how simple his cooking is. Certainly his intention is not that this book represents the end for these favourites. Rather the opposite is what he hopes for: For their new custodians it's just the beginning. Whatever that looks like.'
