中文简介：

本书灵感来自黎凡特地区充满活力和多样化的文化，该地区位于中东，沿着地中海东部的海岸延伸。什锦开胃小吃（开胃小菜是波斯语maza的原意，mezze一词即来源于此）包括流行的蘸酱、沙拉和小食，如鹰嘴豆泥、中东茄泥、塔博勒色拉和沙拉三明治，以及不太熟悉的食谱。新鲜的烤鱼和海鲜，配上用哈里萨辣椒酱调味的酸奶蘸料，或是简单地搭配薄荷和黄瓜，这只是舌尖上的海洋探险之旅的开始。对于肉食者来说，鸡肉菜肴通过各种辛辣的腌制汁变得更加美味，例如红辣椒和柠檬浸泡的中东香料腌烤鸡肉；烤牛肉串配芝麻酱；黎凡特宴席中最伟大的菜肴之一，慢烤羊肩淋上香料，配上石榴、酸奶和开心果酱。这些美味新鲜的菜肴将让你回味无穷。

英文简介：

A collection of recipes inspired by the vibrant and diverse culture of the Levant, the region of the Middle East that stretches along the shores of the eastern Mediterranean.Small plates to relish (relish being the original meaning of the Persian word maza from which the term mezze derives) include popular dips, salads and small bites – hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouleh and falafel – as well as less familiar recipes to discover. Freshly grilled fish and seafood, served with yogurt dips flavoured with spicy harissa paste, or a simple coupling of mint and cucumber, are just the start of an ocean odyssey of tastes. For carnivores, chicken dishes are enhanced by all manner of spicy marinades, such as Paprika and Lemon-Infused Taouk; or how about Grilled Skewers of Beef with a Tahini-Based Tarator Sauce; or one of the greats of Levantine feasting, a Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder steeped in spices and served with a Pomegranate, Yogurt and Pistachio Sauce. You’ll want to return to these deliciously fresh and exciting dishes time and again.
