  • Lemon-roasted almonds with saffron

    • DKennedy on October 31, 2015

      This is pretty easy to prepare. 1/2wed the recipe. I substituted sprouted almonds for the raw, and the end result tasted a tad overcooked, but still very yummy. Know for next time, to adjust cooking time if using sprouted. For the salt I used citric, rosemary and garlic. Addictively yummy snack. Will make again for sure.

  • Rena Salaman's prawn yiouvetsi

    • DKennedy on November 15, 2015

      I made this last night taking some liberties with the ingredients. Used a partial bag of TJs frozen shrimp, no shells. Poached and reserved 3 T. of the poaching liquid and did add to the sauce but obviously with less oomph than would with shells. Pretty and good, but not fantastic. Next time I would salt more heavily at all stages.

  • Melon and rosewater smoothie

    • DKennedy on July 28, 2015

      When I went to Perpopolis for dinner, one of the most intriguing things on their menu was the array of smoothies. I was so excited when I got the book to find that the smoothie recipes were included! Made this today substituting rose jam for the rosewater as that is all I had on hand. Delicious and refreshing. I used 1/2 a very ripe green cantaloupe, zest of 1 lime and 1/2 lime juiced. That was too much lime juice, so next time I will cut way back on the lime. Second time I used rosewater - very strong. Only use a drop in the future or it is undrinkable.

Publishers Text

Join Sally Butcher, owner and chef of iconic Peckham-based cafe and grocery shop, Persepolis, as she shares her take on Middle Eastern street fare, snacks and meze.

Increasingly, formal dining is being nudged aside in favour of meze-style spreads, and street food has come of age. Meze picks out the Middle East's most exciting street food and snacks including a range of kebabs, nuts, nibbles and sweet halwah, to bring together for family and friends.

From Aubergine-wrapped Chicken, and Rabbit and Fig Kebabs, to Lebanese Street Pizza Bread and Sudanese Mashed Broad Beans. With drinks to serve alongside such as Iced Turkish Delight Coffee or Kashmiri Tamarind Cooler, without forgetting puddings for a sweet finish, you too can create the home shawarma experience and the definitive Middle Eastern meze.

Packed with recipes from across the region and Sally's trademark wit and informed anecdotes, this is a burst of intoxicating flavours for all Middle Eastern food enthusiasts.
