'We are the flowers in the garden of the heavens; we are mezze and wine at God's gathering.' Rumi
A dervish's training begins in the kitchen. The preparation and festive consumption of food is intrinsically connected to the spiritual practice of Sufism. Sufi Cuisine offers a sumptuous assortment of dishes inspired by the teachings of the thirteenth century Sufi mystic Rumi, alongside selections of his sayings and parables. Lavishly illustrated, it brings together more than one hundred easy to follow recipes - from chickpea soup and lamb served with plums and sweet spinach, to desserts including candied rose petals and almond halvah, followed by Turkish coffee. This delightful cookbook provides a unique window into a rich cultural history. It is the ideal introduction to the transformative art of Sufi cooking - restorative for the stomach, spirit and soul.Author Biography
