Salma is een Tamil dichteres en fictie schrijfster, erkend voor haar groeiende belangstelling in de Tamil literatuur. Haar werk combineert op unieke wijze een zeldzame openhartigheid over taboe-onderwerpen uit de traditionele Tamil vrouwenervaringen met een taal die wordt gekenmerkt door gecomprimeerde intensiteit en opvallende metaforische resonantie. Ze schrijft met een onderscheidende stem, duikt in de realiteiten die haar perspectief hebben gevormd en weerspiegelt vaak persoonlijke worstelingen die haar krachtige literaire expressie voeden. Haar aanpak combineert rauwe eerlijkheid met lyrische diepgang, waardoor haar bijdragen significant zijn voor het hedendaagse Tamil literaire discours.
The Lebanese Cookbook is the definitive guide to Lebanese home cooking, featuring 500 authentic and easy-to-make recipes. It showcases the rich and refined cuisine of Lebanon, offering a variety of dishes, including mezzes, salads, main courses, grilled meats, desserts, and drinks.
2017 James Beard Foundation Book Awards Winner: Vegetable Cooking A collection of vegetarian dishes influenced by Middle Eastern flavors from Salma Hage, author of the bestselling classic, The Lebanese Kitchen, also published by Phaidon. A definitive, fresh and approachable collection of 150 traditional recipes from an authoritative voice on Middle Eastern home cooking, Salma Hage’s new book is in line with the current Western trends of consciously reducing meat, and the ancient Middle Eastern culture of largely vegetarian, mezze style dining. Traditionally, the Middle Eastern diet consisted largely of vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, pulses, grains and legumes. Salma simplifies this fast becoming popular cuisine with easily achievable recipes, many with vegan and gluten-free options. Drawing inspiration from ancient and prized Phoenician ingredients, from grassy olive oil to fresh figs and rich dates, this book offers an array of delicious breakfasts and drinks, mezze and salads, vegetables and pulses, grains and desserts. Salma shows how to easily make the most of familiar everyday fruits and legumes, as well as more exotic ingredients now widely available outside of the Middle East, with nourishing recipes so flavourful and satisfying they are suitable for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
Mehar dreams of freedom and a life with her children. Asiya dreams of her daughter's happiness. Sajida dreams of becoming a doctor. Subaida dreams of the day when her family will become free of woes. Parveen dreams of a little independence, a little space for herself in the world. Mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, neighbours... In this tiny Muslim village in Tamil Nadu, the lives of these women are sustained by the faith they have in themselves, in each other, and the everyday compromises they make. Salma's storytelling - crystalline in its simplicity, patient in its unravelling - enters this interior world of women, held together by love, demarcated by religion, comforted by the courage in dreaming of better futures.
