Ripe Figs: Recipes and Stories from Turkey, Greece, and Cyprus

For thousands of years, the eastern Mediterranean has stood as a meeting point between East and West, bridging cultures and cuisines through trade, commerce, and migration. Yasmine Khan travels through Turkey, Greece, and Cyprus, tracing the recipes and ingredients that have spread through the region from the time of Ottoman rule to the influence of recent refugee communities. Uniting around thickets of dill and bunches of oregano, piles of zesty citrus and sour pomegranates, and sweet dates and soothing tahini, 80 delicious, easy-to-cook recipes put vegetables center stage. Ripe Figs is a dazzling cookbook that celebrates an ever-diversifying region and imagines a world without borders.
