In The Jewelled Table, Bethany Kehdy takes classic & traditional recipes & demystifies them, in turn reinterpreting them for a modern cook, without sacrificing authenticity. Over 80 ancient & every day recipes from the Middle East are reinterpreted & made accessible for cooking in a Western kitchen without losing their integrity. Find out the secret to nailing hummus once & for all, whip up a Persian herb frittata & make an impressive, delicious Ox cheek, shallot & rhubarb stew. From simple weeknight suppers to lazy brunches, Sunday roasts, celebratory feasts & last-minute mayhem, Bethany illustrates that with a few key ingredients, Middle Eastern food is the perfect fit for every occasion. Featuring menu plans, detailed instructions on how to cook the recipes, as well as charming anecdotes throughout from Bethany`s own experiences in the Middle East, all set to the backdrop of beautiful location shots, The Jewelled Table is an essential cookbook for anyone who loves the flavours of the Middle East.
