Making Levantine cuisine : modern foodways of the Eastern Mediterranean
\"Melding the rural and the urban with the local, regional, and global, Levantine cuisine is a mélange of ingredients, recipes, and modes of consumption rooted in the Eastern Mediterranean. Making Levantine Cuisine provides much-needed scholarly attention to the region's culinary cultures while teasing apart the tangled histories and knotted migrations of food. Akin to the region itself, the culinary repertoires that comprise Levantine cuisine endure and transform--are unified but not uniform. This book delves into the production and circulation of sugar, olive oil, and pistachios; examines the social origins of kibbe, Adana kebab, shakshuka, falafel, and shawarma; and offers a sprinkling of family recipes along the way. The histories of these ingredients and dishes, now so emblematic of the Levant, reveal the processes that codified them as national foods, the faulty binaries of Arab or Jewish and traditional or modern, and the global nature of foodways. Making Levantine Cuisine draws from personal archives and public memory to illustrate the diverse past and persistent cultural unity of a politically divided region\"-- Provided by publisher.

modes of consumption rooted in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Making Levantine Cuisine provides much-needed scholarly
attention to the region's culinary cultures while teasing apart the
tangled histories and knotted migrations of food. Akin to the
region itself, the culinary repertoires that comprise Levantine
cuisine endure and transform-are unified but not uniform. This book
delves into the production and circulation of sugar, olive oil, and
pistachios; examines the social origins of kibbe, Adana kebab,
shakshuka, falafel, and shawarma; and offers a sprinkling of family
recipes along the way. The histories of these ingredients and
dishes, now so emblematic of the Levant, reveal the processes that
codified them as national foods, the faulty binaries of Arab or
Jewish and traditional or modern, and the global nature of
foodways. Making Levantine Cuisine draws from personal
archives and public memory to illustrate the diverse past and
persistent cultural unity of a politically divided region.
