The Food of Oman: Recipes and Stories from the Gateway to Arabia by Felicia Campbell
5.0
So fascinating! This really makes me want to go to Oman, which, from this book, seems to hit all kinds of great food points: so many spices and techniques I already know from Indian and Iranian food, all combined in ways I hadn't previously considered.
Great photos, and I appreciate that the names of the recipes are all Arabic (with English below). (Sure, picky me would like to see Arabic script as well, just to be absolutely complete, but I wouldn't wish that proofreading job on anyone.) And the recipe notes seem very good at noting if and how recipes have been tweaked for convenience or taste--I always like to know what the traditional baseline is, even if I might not end up cooking it that way.
