ExpatWoman is many things to many different groups of people but for one particular group, with a keen interest in reading, but lacking the chance the get together in one location, it is an online book club. Readers vote for the following month's book. The most popular choice is selected and when they have read it, members post their comments on a dedicated section of the ever busy, ExpatWoman Forum.
This month our members are reading Tamarind and Saffron by Claudia Roden. It is comprehensive cookbook has recipes drawn from many Middle Eastern countries, including Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, Algeria and Iran for every occasion, from simple snacks or "mezze" to grand feasts. It also includes classics of Middle Eastern cuisine, little-known regional specialities, homely everyday foods and even special vegetarian dishes.
A thread to discuss Tamarind and Saffron will be open from October 1st : http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/topics.aspx?ForumID=14
