Starting from a modest trestle table in London's Borough Market to a growing network of restaurants and speciality products, the Arabica brand has steadfastly championed naturally healthy food and responsibly sourced ingredients. Founder and author James Walters draws inspiration from his extensive travels across the Eastern Mediterranean to create a cookbook brimming with colourful meze and small plates from of one of the world's most exciting food cultures. He shares simple cooking techniques and ingredient tips that elevate dishes from ordinary to authentic, from satisfying to sublime. So, gather your friends and family to enjoy favourites like Grilled halloumi with black honey, Spinach & feta gušl böregi, Chicken & pistachio shish, Baked chermoula cod with sweet potato, Lebanese meatballs, Lamb with pea tahini and Tomatoes, Peaches, Basil & Za'atar.
