Sufi Cuisine
The eating and preparation of food is at the heart of Sufi religious practices and beliefs, and the dishes - from preserved rose petals and snow halva, to baklava prepared with water in which oak ashes have been soaked overnight - illustrates this beautifully. Full of anecdotes, poetry from the great Sufi mystic, Mevlana, and delightful recipes.

Description
‘We are the flowers in the garden of the heavens; we are mezze and wine at God's gathering.’
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.
The book takes the reader on a sensuous journey of earthly and spiritual delights. As Nevin Halici explains in her introduction, the eating and preparation of food is at the heart of Sufi religious practices and beliefs. The truly inspiring array of dishes—from preserved rose petals and snow helva, to baklava prepared with water in which oak ashes have been soaked overnight—illustrates this beautifully.
Sufi Cuisine is a rare treat.
