Sufi Cuisine

The eating and preparation of food is at the heart of Sufi religious practices and beliefs, and the dishes - from preserved rose petals and snow halva, to baklava prepared with water in which oak ashes have been soaked overnight - illustrates this beautifully. Full of anecdotes, poetry from the great Sufi mystic, Mevlana, and delightful recipes.

Mancarea si pregatirea hranei se afla in centrul practicilor si credintelor religioase sufi, iar felurile de mancare - de la petale de trandafir conservate si halva de zapada, pana la baklava preparata cu apa in care cenusa de stejar a fost inmuiata peste noapte - ilustreaza frumos acest lucru. Plin de anecdote, poezie de la marele mistic sufi, Mevlana, si retete incantatoare.
