Every country in the exotic region along the Mediterranean sea has developed a cuisine that is similar yet basically distinctive from those of its neighbors. With Egyptian food, the distinction is even greater: it has captured the best features of them all and melded them subtly with basic recipes that have long been popular along the Nile. Here – at last in English – Nora George presents easy-to-follow recipes that she learned and practiced while growing up in Cairo and around the world. Whether you are searching for a new experience in appetizers, soups, salads, meats, seafood, meatless dishes, pickles or desserts, Nora George tells you how to proceed and where to find the ingredients in your neighborhood.

Nora lives in California and just as her parents were eager to pass on the culinary tastes of Egypt when they hand wrote a cookbook for her and her siblings, Nora has spent over seven years writing and adapting a cookbook in English for her children, nieces, nephews and her extended family all over the world.  — “Cook in abundance and share!”
