Product Description
Product Description
This stunning book contains a wealth of delicious recipes that reflect the flavours and traditional dishes of the Gulf states. Little is known about this fascinating and ancient cuisine and "Cardamom and Lime" aims to provide readers with the inspiration to create these wonderful dishes. The book starts with a detailed introduction on the history of the Gulf, a glossary of ingredients, herbs and spices used in the cooking and information on major culinary influences. There then follow five chapters: Rice; Lamb, chicken and fish; Vegetables; Desserts; Teas and coffees. With recipes ranging from Aromatic Rice, Fragrant Lamb Pilaf, Kebabs, Potato Cakes and Baked Fish with Nut Stuffing to Milky Rice Pudding and Pomegranate and Guava Salad, there is plenty here to tempt the tastebuds. Throughout the book there are stunning photographs and feature spreads to give a flavour of life in the Gulf, making this a unique and eye-opening look at this wonderfully traditional cuisine.

I was rather disappointed with this book. There are only about 40 recipes and, for me, there just wasn't anything really new or exciting. Each recipe comes with a picture of the finished dish which some people may find useful. The book is padded out with lots of photos of e.g. markets, shops, etc which did nothing for me as there wasn't enough narrative to make this one of those travel/food books that I can happily spend an evening leafing through without actually needing to cook. Perhaps I am spoilt (I have more than 350 cookery books) but I didn't feel that the book was either interesting or good value for money. I didn't return it but I haven't used it either. If I want to cook middle eastern food I invariably find myself using one of Claudia Roden's books or Arto der Haroutunian.

To be honest I expected a few more distinct recipes. Its a nicely presented book but a rather ecletic mix of home cooking -average

With evocative and colorful photographs and short but to-the-point explanations, Cardamom and Lime sheds light on a region that is not known for its cooking tradition.
The book contains a good range of recipes with quite easy to source ingredients.
Cardamom and Lime is an exceptionally beautiful recipe book.
