Sumac - by Anas Atassi (Hardcover)
“Atassi deeply loves and respects his traditions and cuisine, his family, the cooking of his heritage...He recorded the recipes of his Syrian heritage to keep them alive...to remember everything about the family table and its celebrations in the midst of a decade-long civil war…” —The Boston Globe
When Anas Atassi set out to write his book, he envisioned a way to demonstrate the wonders of Syrian culture to the rest of the world. He chose to do this primarily by sharing his favorite recipes, and yet there is so much more to the Syrian cookbook Sumac than the food. With stories of Atassi’s childhood in Syria beginning every chapter, Sumac goes beyond the expectations of your average cookbook. It is also a chance to revisit one man’s memories of his beautiful home.
Over 80 different recipes, traditional and contemporary alike, all inspired by Atassi’s family recipes and their travels
