Abigail S.
A delicious journey of food and family
Nadeem's cookbook is a true treasure. This beautifully crafted book is more than just a collection of recipes – it's a journey through childhood memories, family tradition, and the power of food to bring us together. His passion for cooking, and his heritage shines through and every recipe. This cookbook is full of love and warmth. I have started with the condiment section and now that I have made Shatta hamra, I don't know how I've lived without it! I can't wait to continue through all of the inspiring recipes! I highly recommend this cookbook.

As soon as you hold the book you’ll know it’s different. Through each recipe; the author tells a story of a loving family and a culture worth exploring. Kudos to Nadeem and his mother Thuraya, will definitely be gifting this book to friends interested in Jordanian and Middle Eastern culture. Aside with all the passion the book has; all dishes look delicious!

A perfect blend of art, culture and delicious recipes!
This book isn't just a collection of recipes - it's a beautiful combination of Middle-Eastern flavours, artistry and history. The stunning photography feels like a piece of art in itself, capturing the essence of each dish. The recipes are authentic (as a middle-easterner, I can definitely vouch for this!), and the historical and cultural insights make cooking from this book a genuinely enriching experience. Highly recommend!
