Sumac. Urfa pepper. Halvah. Pomegranate molasses. Preserved lemons. The seasonings, staples, and spice blends used throughout the Middle East region have endless potential to transform food - once you know how to use them. In Flavors of the Sun, the people behind the iconic Brooklyn market Sahadi's showcase the versatility of these ingredients in over 120 simple dishes, including starters, salads, soups, family-friendly meals, and desserts. With sections devoted to Bright, Savory, Spiced, Nutty, and Sweet accents, it offers inspiration, techniques, and intensely flavourful recipes for using everything from Aleppo pepper to za'atar with confidence. Throughout, no-recipe recipes help build up your flavour intuition so you can effortlessly use, and use up, any of the featured spices, condiments, and preserves and breathe new life into your standard repertoire in the process.
