    An Edible Mosaic Cookbook Launch!

    Published: Nov 6, 2012 · Modified: Jan 18, 2022 by Faith · This post may contain affiliate links · 43 Comments

    There’s no way I can sit still right now. I can’t stop jittering (and that’s before any caffeine!). I’m too excited to eat. I actually feel like heading out into our 30-degree-Fahrenheit weather and going for a run…and I am so not a runner, lol.

    My cookbook is out!!!

    It has over 100 authentic Middle Eastern recipes (with photos!), mostly taught to me by my wonderful mother-in-law, Sahar, during the time I spent in the Middle East after marrying. If you’re like me and you enjoy Middle Eastern food but didn’t grow up learning how to cook it, I explain things in an approachable way that is easy to follow – so this book is for you!

    I also de-mystify a few exotic ingredients, cooking tools, and cooking techniques. And because cuisine and culture are so closely intertwined, I include a bit of Middle Eastern culture in the cookbook. Culture is what brings a certain richness to a cuisine, is it not?

    Here’s what’s in the book:

    Cooking Tips and Techniques

    Basic Cooking Tools

    Buying the Right Middle Eastern Ingredients

    Basic Recipes

    Breads and Pies

    Salads

    Vegetable and Rice Side Dishes

    Appetizers and Light Meals

    Beans and Lentils

    Chicken and Seafood

    Beef and Lamb

    Desserts

    Drinks

    Middle Eastern Grocery Stores

    Not to mention, the Foreword was written by the lovely and talented Lorraine Elliott of Not Quite Nigella! She’s my mentor, “blog sister”, and sweet friend. Thank you so much, Lorraine!

    The book is now available for purchase in bookstores across the US and online! Depending on the area, there may be distribution issues due to Hurricane Sandy…if you can’t find the book at your local bookstore, please feel free to request it from the store manager. (And if you were able to find the book at your local bookstore, please feel free to leave a comment letting me know – I’d be thrilled!)

    Here’s where you can buy it online:

    Amazon US

    Amazon Canada

    Amazon UK

    Barnes & Noble

    Book Depository (free shipping worldwide)

    I think it would make a lovely holiday gift...or even just a gift-to-self. :)

    P.S. This Friday I’m having a very special Virtual Book Launch Party with many fabulous bloggers participating! The event has a wonderful sponsor list with over $1200 worth of prizes that I will be giving away – be sure to check back on Friday!
