Food Culture in the Near East, Middle East, and North Africa

This thorough volume allows the reader to better understand the cultures of the regions, particularly Arab Muslim cultures, through the foodways--from how foodstuffs are used, what everyday kitchens are like, to how life-cycle events are celebrated.

First sentence: The cultural area of the Near and Middle East and North Africa stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Persian Gulf, including Iran, and from the Mediterranean Sea to the Sahara Desert and the Arab peninsula.
