In the Arabian Gulf, just east of Saudi Arabia and across the sea from Iran, the kitchens of Oman are filled with the enticing, mysterious aroma of a spice bazaar. Acclaimed food writer Felicia Campbell invites readers to journey with her into Oman’s home kitchens, beachside barbeques, royal weddings, and humble teashops to discover an incredible diversity of flavours and cultures.
In these inviting and accessible recipes, familiar ingredients mingle in exciting new ways: Biryani is scented with rosewater and cloves; seafood soup is enlivened with hot red pepper and turmeric; green bananas are spiked with lime, green chili, and coconut. The recipes in this book offer cooks a new world of flavours, techniques, and inspiration, while the lush photography and fascinating stories provide an introduction to the culture of a people whose adventurous palates and deep love of food gave rise to this unparalleled cuisine.
