"The Arabesque Table&nbsp;is full to the brim with dishes which are rooted in tradition and at the same time creatively (and deliciously!) transcend it. It is wonderful!" - Yotam Ottolenghi "Refreshing is ...the best word to describe Ms. Kassis's book...&nbsp;The Arabesque Table&nbsp;zooms out, examining both the history and the evolution of Arab dishes, suggesting another, richer approach to understanding food." - Wall Street Journal Acclaimed author Reem Kassis returns with a one-of-a-kind collection of original contemporary recipes tracing the rich history of Arab cuisine.
