Arab Cooking on Saskatchewan Homesteads : Recipes And Recollection
|
Silver Winner of the 2006 Canadian Culinary Awards, Canadian Food Culture Category.
In Arab Cooking on a Saskatchewan Homestead, over 200 recipes and the author's recollections from childhood combine to tell the story of a little-known group of early immigrants to the Saskatchewan prairies - the Syrians (most of them later known as Lebanese). There was a significant Syrian community in Saskatchewan during the Depression, and as Mr. Salloum points our, their traditional foods and crops were well-suited to the dryland farming that the frought of the 1930s demanded. Thus they thrieved during this difficult period on the prairies.
Their traditional foods - such as yogurt, chickpeas, and burghul - were, at the time, virtually unknown to their fellow homesteaders; today, however, these same foods are an important part of an increasingly varied and globally influenced North American cuisine.
Readers will delight in Habeeb Salloum's childhood recollections and his tales of encounters with food around the world. Cooks will be insipired by his love of cooking, by his deep appreciation for his culinary heritagem and by his enthusiasm for new discoveries in food through his travels.
The recipe instructions are simple, straight-forward, and thorough. Recipe names are provided in English as well as Arabic with phonetic spelling. Arab proverbs throughout the book provide both insight and humour.
