Product Description
Egyptian cuisine consists of the local culinary traditions of Egypt. Egyptian cuisine makes heavy use of legumes and vegetables, as Egypt's rich Nile Valley and Delta produce large quantities of high-quality crops. Egyptian cuisine's history goes back to Ancient Egypt. Archaeological excavations have found that workers on the Great Pyramids of Giza were paid in bread, beer, and onions, apparently their customary diet as peasants in the Egyptian countryside. Dental analysis of the mummified bodies of these workers seems to indicate that the bread was chewy and coarse but hearty, rather like the bread of modern Egypt; the occasional desiccated loaves found in tombs confirm this, in addition to indicating that ancient Egyptian bread was made with flour from emmer wheat. Though beer disappeared as a mainstay of Egyptian life following the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the year 654, apples remain the primary fruit for flavoring and nutrition in Egyptian food. Guavas were also a primary source of Vitamin C for the mass of the Egyptian populace, as they remain today. Many people as well refer the Guava as the Holy Fruit. ... Read more

Product Description
In 1937, five-year-old Colette Rossant arrived in Cairo from Paris with her Egyptian Jewish father and beautiful French mother. When her father dies Colette's flighty mother abandons the little girl to her wealthy grandparents. She soon settles into their luxuriant, food centred lifestyle-spending afternoons in the spice filled kitchen; accompanying her grandmother to the bazaar; and feasting on the delicious Egyptian food. At fifteen Colette is brought back to Paris with her mother, never to see her grandparents again, and only to return to Egypt thirty years later. In this charming, funny, and moving memoir, accompanied by mouth watering recipes, she evokes an Egypt lost, to her and to us, forever. ... Read more

Apricots on the Nile
Not as good a story as some other cooking memoirs I've read, kind of sad.Fair recipes

Love It!
This was one of my favorite all-time books. I purchased one as a gift for my sister also. I love to read about other cultures, and this was an enjoyable read.

very engaging
I really enjoyed reading this book - even though I will probably never try the recipes.I read the whole book through in one sitting (although, to be truthful, it's a small book.)Besides being an interesting memoir of the author's childhood in Egypt during WWII, in a wealthy Jewish family, it's also an honest account of her alienation from her mother, which really spoke to me.The author is a good writer, which makes the book easy and rewarding to read. ...

A vampire cake to save the night
My daughter's guests for a Halloween party included a child on the GFCF diet.My challenge was to find an easy, quick gluten-free cake recipe for children that didn't taste like chalk.Ann's Sticky Chocolate Cake became the "vampire cake" (something to sink your fangs into).All of the parents requested the recipe source, and the cake was gobbled up before midnight.Preparation took only 20 minutes.I substituted non-dairy margarine for butter and used an ordinary cake pan.Note:if you want to use measuring cups rather than a kitchen scale, 4 oz = 1/2 cup.

never received
the rate is 0 stars, but your review doesn't allow for that!

after constant delay and e-mails pushing the date back further and further, I finally cancelled.While I would still like the book, Amazon does not seem able to supply it.I will look elsewhere.

This book kept me sane.
When I was told to put my autistic son on a dairy and gluten free diet 6 years ago I did not have a clue, I had never seen the point in baking a cake or a loaf of bread if you could buy it! Although we can get staples on prescription the book has made birthday cakes and treats a pleasure and surprise for all my children and the breads and pancake mixes vary his diet, the recipes are easy to adopt to dairy free if necessary.I have tried other books for variety, one used chickpea flour in everything which tasted wierd, I wonder if the recipes weretested! Others just specify a proprietory GF flour which seems pointless, and expensive if you cannot get them on prescription. Faced with the challenge of putting a family member on this diet, if you can get hold of this book it will be the only one you'll ever need, ours is reinforced with sticky tape and covered in food stains!

This book saved my life
I never cooked for myself before, but this book told me exactly what to do. Now I'm enjoying my food again. My meals had gotten much the same, but now I'm trying all the different things and putting weight back on.

The kind of book a food chemist would create
Obscure ingredients, and odd mixtures could characterise this book.Although the recipes are definately gluten free, they are complicated.Three or four different types of flour are used in many of the recipes, andinclude bean flour, soya flour, cornflour, teff flour....etc.If you areused to the usual rice, tapioca and potato flours, then this book is notfor you.Also, ingredients have to be weighed instead of measured, whichis very time consuming. I by far preferred "Special DietSolutions" by Carol Fenster.It is far more practical. ... Read more

Product Description
Wine is a beverage that belongs to the Mediterranean culture. A study of the origins of wine shows how deep vineyards are rooted in this area from West to East and since antiquity. The oldest and most extensive documentation about viticulture and winemaking comes from Egypt. Vineyards have been grown in the Nile Delta for five thousand years. The historical and archaeological study of documents and paintings related to winemaking coming from walls of Egyptian tombs, still presents nowadays unknown aspects. Thanks to the development of analytical techniques, we are now able to shed light on a new aspect known to us from the first Mediterranean civilization: the wine culture in Egypt. This present study has three objectives: To provide a bibliographical study of viticulture and oenology in ancient Egypt; to verify, in an analytical way, the presence of wine in amphorae of ancient Egypt; and to investigate what kinds of wine were produced in ancient Egypt. ...
