Author: BROWN, STUARTPrice: $24.95 - North African CookeryISBN: 9781906502348
Arto der Haroutunian takes adventurous cooks on a tour of the cuisines of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya in this comprehensive guide to North African food. There are over 300 recipes for traditional dishes such as tagines, stews, soups, and salads using classic ingredients such as fiery spices, jewel-like dried fruits, lemons, and armfuls of fresh herbs. Simplicity is at the heart of the medina kitchen. The exotic fuses with the domestic to produce dishes that are highly flavoured yet quick and easy to prepare. Vegetables are prepared in succulent and unusual ways while dishes such as chicken honey and onion couscous, and 'gazelle horns' filled with almonds, sugar and orange blossom water provide a feast for both the imagination and the palate. Tunisian cuisine is perhaps the hottest of the region-due in large part to the popularity of the fiery chilli paste, harissa. As well as a strong French influence, pasta is a passion in Tunisia. Morocco's great forte is its tagines and sauces-with meat and fish being cooked in one of four popular sauces. And Libya, although less gastronomically subtle than Tunisia and Morocco, excels in soups and patisserie. This collection represents the cooking of the region with refreshingly uncomplicated techniques, short lists of ingredients and the comforting, elemental flavours of various spices and seasonings. Recipes are easy to follow, and evoke the spicy, sumptuous flavours of the region. This culinary journey creates some of the world's most extraordinary gastronomic cultures. With a sumptuous range of dishes from simple street fare to elaborate banquet food, this book is a wonderful introduction to North African flavoured with a slice of history, an anecdote or a fable that brings this land of the sunset' vividly to life.

Author: DER HAROUTUNIAN, ARTOPrice: $39.99 - Quiet FoodISBN: 9781904943631
This work moves from fast food to slow food to quiet food. This is more than yet another recipe book. It celebrates food and asks us to experience the magic of preparing it. It introduces us to the possibility of making cooking and eating into an exquisite meditative occasion - an antidote to our fast food culture. Ultimately our enjoyment of things depends on the quality of the attention we give them. Cooking and eating are no exception. "Quite Food" is about food that has been paid reverent attention. The recipes in this book were developed over 25 years at the Buddhist Retreat Centre in South Africa. Here people of all religions come to experience peace and tranquillity. But the Centre is not only renowned for its natural beauty and the quality of its retreats it also runs a splendid vegetarian kitchen. In the early days, when requested, the retreat cooks copied out their recipes by hand onto serviettes. Eventually a simple photocopied recipe book was produced. Over the years this has undergone several incarnations and here at last is a beautiful, professional published edition. The recipes feature exceptionally flavoursome, nutritionally balanced vegetarian food that has been honed to perfection by a multitude of cooks and housekeepers. But it is also simultaneously, food for the mind containing thought-provoking, often humorous 'Zenecdotes' that accompany the recipes. The chapters contain delicious recipes for soups, salads, mains, sides, sweets, breads and basics, illustrated throughout with exquisite black and white photographs of people, places, plants and foods.
