Years later, as my worn and food-stained notebook captured the fruits of my own labors, I realized these recipes were too precious to lose. They're a testament to all those cooks before me who faithfully preserved their heritage, mother to daughter, through the generations." Sitto's Kitchen begins with a Basics chapter that will guide the reader with tips on pantry staples, cook's tools and those necessary ingredients needed to begin creating this exciting cuisine. The cookbook's recipe titles are written in both English and Arabic. A glossary of spices and herbs, an index in English and Arabic, a Where to Buy It section and photos of many of the dishes are all included with today's cooks in mind.
