A souq is an Arab market. The book of the same name invites us on an exciting culinary journey along the Mediterranean coast. Spanning over 250 pages, this opulent book offers a variety of cuisines from the regions, showcasing the most important Oriental small dishes, known as mezze, in all their diversity. Mezze are Arab delights for guests, celebrations, large tables, and great enjoyment. From hummus to mini moussaka, tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves, labneh, or kibbeh, to dukkah and flatbread. It sounds exotic, and it is. Yet, it is quite simple to prepare. With wonderful ingredients and spices like allspice, sumac, fresh mint, rose petals, and cardamom. With a pinch of Greece, perhaps a gram of Cyprus, a bit of Morocco, Jordan, Turkey, or Lebanon. A tale from 1001 nights. Cook, dream - and enjoy.
