Lugma: Abundant Dishes & Stories From My Middle East - Noor Murad

In Lugma, Noor offers over 100 recipes as an ode to the food she grew up eating – traditional flavours and modern dishes from Bahrain, the surrounding Middle East and beyond.

Raised in Bahrain and based in London, Noor is a chef and co-author of two Ottolenghi Test Kitchen cookbooks. She takes you on a culinary journey to celebrate her own food culture. Her recipes are inspired by the foods of her upbringing: the elaborate rice dishes and black limes of the Gulf, an abundance of herbs and sour flavours from Iran, liberal spice and chilli heat from India and the vibrant foods of the Levant – to create a unique collection of traditional and re-imagined dishes from the Middle East.

From Spring Time Fattoush and Stuffed Baby Aubergines to Slow-cooked Fenugreek Lamb with Pickled Chillies and Pistachio Cake with Labneh, these beautiful and inspirational recipes are full of love and warmth to be recreated in your own kitchen.
