In The Jewelled Table, Bethany Kehdy takes classic and traditional recipes and demystifies them, in turn reinterpreting them for a modern cook, without sacrificing authenticity. Over 80 ancient and every day recipes from the Middle East are reinterpreted and made accessible for cooking in a Western kitchen without losing their integrity. Find out the secret to nailing hummus once and for all, whip up a Persian herb frittata and make an impressive, delicious Ox cheek, shallot and rhubarb stew. From simple weeknight suppers to lazy brunches, Sunday dinners, celebratory feasts, and last minute mayhem, Bethany illustrates that with a few key ingredients, Middle Eastern food is the perfect fit for every occasion. Featuring menu plans, detailed instructions on how to cook the recipes, as well as charming anecdotes throughout from Bethany's own experiences in the Middle East, all set to the backdrop of beautiful location shots, The Jewelled Table is an essential cookbook for anyone who loves the flavors of the Middle East.

The Jewelled Table: Cooking, Eating and Entertaining the Middle Eastern Way Reviews

  • Mahout

    Having just discovered this book and Bethany Kehdy I enjoyed reading descriptions of certain ingredients for example discovering the wild plants for Za'atar and explanations of Hummus, Mutabal and BoraniA new recipe twist for me is Vintage Garlic preserved with a mix including balsamic and cider vinegar which i will try rather than my popular white vinegar and sugar. Plenty of reading and knowledge in an exciting cook book.So excited was i with this i also ordered The Jewelled Kitchen, an earlier book by the same author. This has a delightful intro of family memories.Two additions to my collection of cookery books of this nature. Memories travel wonderful ingredients and recipes.

    I love Lebanese food and have been cooking from Beth’s Jewelled Kitchen..such a fabulous book with doable recipes. I tried the stuffed aubergines, Labneh, black magic brownies and the Mousakka..all turned out perfect for a afternoon alfresco lunch menu!! What I like is most recipes can be simplified if you don’t have ‘Kishk’ flour I just used plain flour.

    There are great recipes in the book! However there are really strange things like recommending do buy yogurt in the supper market and not teaching a very basic way to do it at home.
