Publishers Text

Nile Style is the first cookbook devoted to the comprehensive, multiethnic and multi-religious history of the Egyptian table. Arranged in a unique menu format, each menu highlights a celebratory feast or meal, such as the Ancient Nile Festival, Ramadan Breakfast, or Passover, and includes a historical and anecdotal introduction along with the recipes. Nile Style explores the predominant Islamic, Jewish, and Christian culinary traditions but also features recipes from the lesser-known Bedouin and Nubian communities in Egypt.

From classics live Fava Bean Puree, Yogurt with Honey, and Egyptian Whole-Wheat Pita Bread, to tempting Lamb Filled Phyllo Triangles and Peanut, Coconut, and Raisin Baklava, Nile Style spans the range of the Egyptian kitchen with recipes that will appeal to every palate!
