Das Leben ein Fest

This cookbook and reading book not only provides insight into Muslim culinary traditions but also into the geography, religion, and history of the Muslim world. With 300 recipes, it traces the journey of Islam from its origins in present-day Saudi Arabia to the modern societies of Asia, Africa, and the Near and Middle East. Many recipes are presented not just once but in their regional variations, creating a diverse picture of the Muslim culinary traditions from different regions. Recipes for bread, meat, grains, fish and seafood, sweets, and of course spice blends whet the appetite for dishes from the Islamic world. It describes not only the recipes but also the customs and stories that accompany them, as well as the tools needed for their preparation. A book that unites meaning and sensuality.
