This is the real deal. It is so rich and there are many, many beautiful recipes from specific countries and traditions. Don't forget that the Islamic world reaches far beyond the MENA region: Zanzibar, Indonesia, Nigeria, and others are also represented.

What I love about this is that most of these cuisines are from warm countries, so I don't have to try to source cold climate foods like brussels sprouts, kale, walnuts, and cranberries in Brazil (: I'm very excited to dig deeper into this cookbook aaand I might buy it??
