Food and Culture Recipe Book Experience the old world through this culinary and cultural information book. A delight to the palate and mind. Even though food is universal, nevertheless, food presents a certain amount of knowledge about the culture where it's conceived. The web offers a huge amount of food recipes, local and international, but some how that comes on as data lacking life. In this book, we have tried to present you with a not so unique of an approach, of presenting some cultural information about the countries and cultures where these recipes had originated. We have chosen recipes and cultural information from five Middle Eastern countries that include Lebanon, Armenia, Syria, Turkey and Iran. These countries, east of the Mediterranean, have much similarities in foods and culture. They all have long and old history that may go back more than three millenniums. It's said that the city of Damascus (capital of Syria) is probably the longest continuously inhabited city in the world.
We are talking about a region, with all these countries, that has seen one
major power and culture after another that dominated that part of the
world ever before biblical times. During this long history, these cultures have evolved an extensive culinary art and practice. The usage of earth's resources, such as grains, fruits and vegetables, is very extensive. many of the agricultural products are naturally grown without the use of commercial additives to the soil. This book, beside providing many wonderful recipes, presents a modest amount of information about the Geography, History, Government, social and economic synopsis. We hope that this information can be of value to many of you. So, please acquire this book in any of the published media it comes in. to review Book Table of Contents, Please Click Here
