Leaving Morocco behind them, Julie and John explore more widely in the Middle East: from caviar markets in Azerbaijan; whirling Dervishes and the fair-ground foods of Turkey; Jordanian tea houses and the sweet markets of Lebanon. Like Made in Morocco, this is a book of exotic tastes and sights. Julie's selection of recipes evokes the flavours of some very old cuisines, using aromatic spices, strange fruits and grains, exotic pickles and preserves. Her signature style is evident throughout - food with wonderful flavours - produced with a minimum of effort. John's dramatic photography captures the colour and spirit of these ancient countries.
