Food and memory are inextricably linked; flavours and dishes evoke emotion, rooted in nostalgia or specific experiences. The Hungry Table embodies this idea. For Fatima Saib, food exists as a backdrop to her childhood memories, intertwined with her precious relationship with her late father. Rooted in this culinary inspiration, the book expertly weaves story and memory through a journey of over 90 contemporary recipes, most with a nod to the author’s South African-Indian heritage.With this in mind, the book is divided into five chapters, each one tapping into a feeling. The Basics offers an array of chutneys, sauces, pickles and flavour-enhancers to round off any dish. Togetherness is an o...

La trama di questo romanzo si dipana nella giungla moderna: una delle nostre città, nella quale Bruna e Viola devono destreggiarsi per la sopravvivenza, in un susseguirsi di giorni sempre uguali, piatti e indegni di nota. Sono rassegnate al fato, ma una domenica destinata allo svago e alla spensieratezza in una località balneare, rappresenterà, invece, la premessa di vicende che le avvolgeranno in un vortice nel quale sarà estremamente difficile districarsi, essendo completamente all'oscuro delle cause che le hanno coinvolte. Lentamente ricomporranno le tessere del mosaico, ma intanto, la situazione socioeconomica del paese subirà una svolta drammatica che non consentirà loro di ottenere giustizia. In questo turbinio di vicende, nel dramma di una città disgregata e degradata, sconvolta da scontri raziali e sull'orlo della guerra civile, nel momento più drammatico che le costringe alla fuga nel tentativo di salvarsi, inaspettatamente si presenterà l'occasione della vendetta.

The love language of the Cape Malays is food, and author Cariema Isaacs says tramakasie (thank you) every day that she gets to express herself in this way. Modern Cape Malay Cooking, Cariema’s fourth cookbook, is a celebration of food and feasting, providing a contemporary view of Cape Malay cuisine and simple home cooking. The recipes showcase a blend of flavours that redefine the Cape Malay palate through modern ingredients and global influences. Though traditional Cape Malay cuisine and recipes have stood the test of time, adaptations have given rise to a culinary fusion. This is especially thanks to the Cape Malay millennial generation that craves popular dishes from the East and West, such as a comforting pasta or a quick stir-fry, but with a Cape Malay twist – this means it must be spicy, it must be saucy and it must be packed with flavour! In Modern Cape Malay Cooking, Cariema shares the recipes and influences that have inspired these modern dishes, with simple ingredients and vibrant aromatics for anyone who is curious and courageous enough to create flavour.
The present volume consists of translated anecdotes, on musicological and socio-cultural topics, from al-Iṣbahānī’s Kitāb al-Aghānī al-Kabīr (The Grand Book of Songs) with annotations and commentaries. It deals with musical rhythmic and melodic modes, technical terms and treatises; music instruments; composition techniques and processes; education and oral/written transmissions; vocal and instrumental performances and their aesthetics; solo and ensemble music; change and its inevitability; musical and textual improvisations; ṭarab and the acute emotions of joy or grief; medieval dances; social status. Though extracts from The Grand Book of Songs have been translated in European languages since 1816, this work presents a much larger and more comprehensive scope that will benefit musicologists, medievalist and Middle Eastern scholars as well as the general reader.
