I feel so incredibly blessed beyond measure. I have wonderful family and friends, a job I love so much it doesn’t really feel like work, I’m part of an amazingly supportive community of food bloggers, and I have the best readers in the world. And now I have a book that contains a small piece of my heart and soul to hold in my hands and call my own.
Truth be told, I’m still pinching myself because the reality of it still hasn’t quite sunk in yet. I am humbled, truly, more than words can express. All I can say is thank you to those of you have taken time out of your busy lives to support me…whether it’s reading my blog, leaving me a comment here, sending me a message on Facebook, tweeting something to me, pinning a photo of one of my recipes that you want to make, shooting me an email, or buying my book. There is no gesture too small. You all make my world brighter.
So now, I want to invite you to my virtual book launch party. This is a time for celebration and joy, and I am thrilled to share it with you. Grab a hot cuppa and settle in because this post is a long one full of goodies that you do not want to miss!
You might be wondering exactly what a virtual book launch party is. When a book is launched it’s not uncommon to have a book launch party with great food, fantastic company, and swag (aka cool free stuff!). This online version has all of the above. (The free stuff is at the bottom…scroll down and take a peak if you want, but come back up because there’s lots of goodies even before the giveaways!)
FIRST THINGS FIRST: THE FOOD
The food I’m sharing with you is none other than the recipe for Saffron Rice with Golden Raisins and Pine Nuts from my cookbook. With savory onion and saffron, sweet golden raisins, and pine nuts, this dish is a lovely balance of flavors and textures. Not to worry though – if saffron isn’t your thing, you can use turmeric instead. My mother-in-law likes to serve Saffron Rice with an aromatic shrimp dish in tomato sauce (the recipe for which is in my cookbook); this rice is also delicious with broiled fish or roasted chicken though.
- 1½ cups (325 g) basmati rice, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 4 tablespoons sultanas (golden raisins)
- 1¾ cups (425 ml) boiling water
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon saffron threads (or ½ teaspoon turmeric)
- Soak the rice in tepid water for 10 minutes; drain. While the rice is soaking, put half a kettle of water on to boil.
- Add the oil to a medium, thick-bottomed lidded saucepan over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer the pine nuts to a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the onion to the saucepan you cooked the pine nuts in, and cook until softened and just starting to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the sultanas, boiling water, salt, and saffron (or turmeric), turn the heat up to high, and bring it to a rolling boil.
- Give the rice a stir, then cover the saucepan, turn the heat down to very low, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes (do not open the lid during this time). Turn the heat off and let the rice sit (covered) 15 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted pine nuts on top; serve.
Optional Addition: Add two pods of cardamom, two whole cloves, and one 2-inch (5 cm) piece of cinnamon stick at the same time that you add the rice.
My cookbook, An Edible Mosaic: Middle Eastern Fare with Extraordinary Flair, 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 let me know – I’d be thrilled!)
Here’s where you can buy it online:
Book Depository (free shipping worldwide)
It would make a lovely holiday gift…or gift-to-self!

Generations later, the Hashem family continues to provide quality products using the same authentic recipes and methods that were used to make amazing coffee, nuts, and spices in the past. Our coffee and nuts are roasted daily to ensure maximum freshness. To this day we hand mix our spices and never buy any premixed products that may contain additives, fillers, or preservatives. Rest assured in knowing you are getting top quality, authentic Middle Eastern products.”
Note that the fifty gift certificates will be given to fifty different winners.

Hi Sarah, Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! Yes, the giveaway closed today at 5AM EST, so unfortunately only entries received before that are included in the drawing. I never close comments on posts that contain recipes, since I find it to be a very convenient means of communication for people who want to ask a question about a recipe.

Checked out Healthy Food for Living. Interesting, though seems there are some Foodbuzz issues :-(
What an incredible gIveaway Faith! You are truly a class act from start to finish. I can’t wait to get my copy of your cookbook in the mail!!
Thank you for the introduction to so many wonderful sites as well (a few Bonbon Break ladies in there!). I went to “Food to Glow” and wow! I am following her. She captured me at “tangine”.

Hi Faith. Congrats on the book. I’m excited to see it. I actually checked out most of the blogs. Maybe all. :) No, I’m not an over-achiever but I just got pulled in. I’m a DIY blogger and haven’t ventured too far into food blogs beyond yours and a few faves but there were so many amazing recipes and stories. Thanks! I added many to my G+ circles and on FB. Can’t wait to be inspired by all the recipes shared.
Checked out Mission: Food.
Checked out BigKitchen, so many nice items, great find right before Christmastime.
I saw the post on Healthy Food for Living even before this one!

I went to Itzy’s Kitchen. I haven’t ever been to that blog before. I really enjoyed reading a few posts especially the An Edible Mosaic: Rice with Golden Raisins and Almonds post.
