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. \u003ci\u003eMaking Levantine Cuisine\u003c\/i\u003e draws from personal archives and public memory to illustrate the diverse past and persistent cultural unity of a politically divided region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anny Gaul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477331883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477331880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Anny Gaul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451006669055,"sku":"9781477331880","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ce4d5ca-6f3e-4870-bc87-698e5c62d015.jpg?v=1735876161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-levantine-cuisine-anny-gaul-9781477331880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
