"For the viewer to see the greatness of the king, there must be a retinue around him!" - Stalik Khankishiev, a culinary guru and famous culinary blogger, said to himself, and, following two bestsellers - the “book of rice” (“Cauldron, barbecue and other male pleasures”) and the “book of meat” (“Cauldron, ram and dastarkhan”), he wrote a “book Everyday Eastern Food" - a fascinating story about the alphas and omegas of the daily nutrition of people in the East. The result is a charming story about the half-forgotten taste of the simplest natural products: bread, tea, milk, fruits, vegetables, spices... A detailed story, seasoned with gentle humor, about dishes whose names are painfully familiar to us (dolma, samsa and cheburek; halva, nougat and baklava; and Napoleon cake here!) and are completely unfamiliar (“parmuda is not what you thought”). The composition of the book is as thoughtful, rational and elegant as the composition of an oriental table: the sequence of chapters is dictated by the order in which dishes are served in the East. Let's not lie: not all the recipes in this book are easy to follow, but, as its author claims, “work makes life more delicious”!
