SUQAR


Book Description

2019 James Beard Award Nominee SUQAR (which means 'sugar' in Arabic) shares the secrets of more than 100 sweet treats inspired by Middle Eastern flavors – ranging from puddings and pastries, to ice creams, cookies, cakes, confectionary, fruity desserts and drinks. The traditional time to eat sweets in the Middle East is not after meals (when fruit is served) but at breakfast, with coffee in between meals or on religious holidays and special occasions. The repertoire of these dishes is vast and varied. In SUQAR, acclaimed chef Greg Malouf and writing partner Lucy Malouf share the best and most delectable sweet treats from the region (alongside some personal favorites and tried-and-tested creations from Greg's restaurant kitchens). The recipes merge the spices, flavors and scents of Greg's childhood with the influence of Greg's training in the West to create dishes in Greg's signature Modern Middle Eastern style. The book's ten chapters cover: Fruit; Dairy; Frozen; Cakes; Cookies; Pastries; Doughnuts, Fritters & Pancakes; Halvas & Confectionery; Preserves; and Drinks. Accompanied by beautiful photography and illustrations, SUQAR is a journey through the sweets of the Middle East.




There's a Worm in My Cake


Book Description

Author Frank Dickinson and his wife Gillian left England for New Zealand as newlyweds. Three years later, they moved to Australia. Leaving behind successful careers in Sydney, the couple and their children start a new life as worm farmers on the New South Wales coast in Berry. Many adventures later, they still love living there. There’s a Worm in My Cake is a humorous account of their momentous decision to leave behind the corporate rat race to pursue the dream of rural self-sufficiency on the beautiful NSW coast in the early 1980s. “The book follows our triumphs and tragedies, and the establishment of a successful mail order worm farming operation that includes floods, hailstorms, flea infestations and sewer blockages, chicken massacres and worm escapes, along with the fun and enjoyment that we experienced with some of our loveable and unconventional animal charges.” Their adventures include horse breaking, dairy farming, house building, mastering the art of tree felling with an ancient chainsaw, and developing the worm business, which presents many interesting and hazardous situations, some of which are funny, while some have heartbreaking consequences.
