Egyptian Recipes
Egypt as a whole, and in particular the Nile Delta and Nile Valley,
has long been known for its agricultural produce - indeed in Roman times, it was considered
the bread basket of the Mediterranean. Modern Egyptian cuisine reflects these traditions,
and Egyptian cuisine tends to emphasize vegetables and legumes.
- Ful medames - Ful medames is a popular meal that many consider to be
Egypt's national dish. it is mostly eaten for breakfast,
is sometimes considered a "peasant food" and is extremely filling (the effect has been
described as a "stone in the stomach").
During Ramadan, the month when participating Muslims fast between dawn and sunset, the filling
nature of the dish is of course considered a great advantage.
Ful medames is made by mashing (partially or completely) fava beans, and then slow cooking
them. The mashed cooked beans are eaten
with onion, olive oil, parsley garlic and lemon.
- Falafel - Chickpeas or fava beans made into a ball and fried.
- Kufta - Ground mead with onions and spices made into a meatball.
- Malukhiyah stew - A stew made from mallow leaves and chicken stock. It
is flavored using coriander and garlic, and then served with chicken and white rice.
- Kebab halla - Beef with onions.
- Shawarma - Slivers of meat (chicken, goat or lamb) in
pita bread with hummus, cucumber and tomato.
- Kushari - Rice served with brown lentils, chickpeas and macaroni.
Kushari is served topped with a spicy tomato sauce, garlic and vinegar.
Caramelized onions are often used an a garnish.
Although traditionally a vegetarian dish,
nowadays kushari is sometimes topped with shawarma meat or fried liver.

Product Description:
In this beautifully illustrated volume, Magda Mehdawy has gathered in one book the most complete collection of Egyptian recipes ever assembled. Drawing on the traditional recipes she learned from her grandmother and other members of her generation, Mehdawy offers a surprising range of sumptuous recipes and unusual flavors that are part of Egypt’s millennia-long cultural heritage. She also reveals the historical depth of the national cuisine, beginning with a section on food and wine-making techniques used by the ancient Egyptians. For readers interested in more recent traditions, Mehdawy provides lists of typical menus served on Islamic holidays and feasts, and a fascinating overview of traditional beliefs regarding vegetables and spices.
While covering regional dishes from all over Egypt, Mehdawy emphasizes the cuisine of her native Mediterranean city of Alexandria, providing a wide selection of seafood dishes, such as baked sardines and shrimp kufta with rice. Grouped by food categories―including Broths and Soups, Stuffed Vegetables, Poultry, Pickles, Jams, and Desserts―the book helpfully lists detailed health information as well as practical advice on shopping for the best-quality ingredients, and where to find them. Even chefs already familiar with Egyptian cuisine will find new dishes here. With copious illustrations in full color throughout, this compendium is a great introduction to the rich flavor and variety of the traditional Egyptian kitchen. |

Judging from the evidence available from depictions of daily life on tombs and in historical texts, the ancient Egyptians were just as enthusiastic about good food and generous hospitality as are their descendants today. Magda Mehdawy and Amr Hussein have done extensive research on the cultivation, gathering, preparation, and presentation of food in ancient Egypt and have developed nearly a hundred recipes that will be perfectly recognizable to anyone familiar with modern Egyptian food.
Beautifully illustrated with scenes from tomb reliefs, objects and artifacts in museum exhibits, and modern photographs, the recipes are accompanied by explanatory material that describes the ancient home and kitchen, cooking vessels and methods, table manners and etiquette, banquets, beverages, and ingredients. Traditional feasts and religious occasions with their own culinary traditions are described, including some that are still celebrated today. A glossary of ingredients and place names provides a useful guide to unfamiliar terms. |
