  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

  • Ebook Download Classic Palestinian Cuisine
    CLASSIC PALESTINIAN CUISINE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Christiane Dabdoub Nasser | 208 pages | 24 Jul 2013 | SAQI BOOKS | 9780863568442 | English | London, United Kingdom Classic Palestinian Cuisine PDF Book Sayadiah , a golden fish and rice dish, with fragrant spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and coriander. A journalist traveling in Palestine and living in the West Bank looks at the plight of the Palestinian people and the comments on the current state of Jewish-Arab relations in the region. It consists of a roasted chicken over taboon bread that has been topped with pieces of fried sweet onions, sumac, allspice and pine nuts. Battir is the antithesis of industrial farming, because its crops evolved according to real conditions: topography, microclimate, water, and most importantly for Sansour, people. Kassis is working on her second book, about modern Arabic cooking, and found examining the past — how recipes evolved in Palestine and the surrounding regions — crucial to giving shape to the notion of a people and its food. Masgoof is made with fire grilled "shabbout" fish unique to the Tigris River, served with lemon slices. Before we know it, a tray laden with fresh-looking starters arrives, carrying more than what we ordered, testament to Palestinian generosity and hospitality. Ramadan is the only period during which the restaurant is primarily visited by Egyptians, who come in large numbers to break-fast there with Palestinian food. A dish native to the Gaza area is sumaghiyyeh , consisting of water-soaked ground sumac mixed with tahina. I know now not to let anyone interpret for me what it means to be Palestinian.

The processes in the food supply chain including agricultural production, food manufacturing, transportation, and retailing produce outputs that are harmful to the environment, specifically greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
