Over the last few years, Middle Eastern food has become popular in mainstream American culture. However, the roots of this cuisine stretch back to the dawn of man. It's a region with a fascinating combination of strict, ancient traditions and new, modern ideas. The Middle East's sweeping geography, history, and religion have allowed for the emergence of unique and engaging cuisine cultures. Every region has a culinary history and tradition of its own, from the shores of Bahrain to the deserts of Iraq. The Customs, Culture & Cuisine series explores the world's most influential societies. Each volume provides a better understanding of their history and culture while showing how those elements impact and inform their cuisine and culinary styles. From key customs to traditional celebrations, food unites them all.
