When the Aleppian Jewish community migrated from the ancient city of Aleppo in historic Syria and settled in New York and Latin American cities in the early 20th century, it brought its rich cuisine and vibrant culture. Most Syrian recipes, however, were not written down and existed only in the mind of older cooks. Poopa Dweck, a first generation Syrian-Jewish American, has devoted much of her life to preserving and celebrating her community’s centuries-old legacy. In Aromas of Aleppo , Dweck places the Aleppian Jewish cuisine in historical and cultural context, offers 150 exciting ethnic recipes with tantalizing photos, and describes the unique customs that the Aleppian Jewish community observes during holidays and lifecycle events. Among the irresistible recipes are: • Bazargan—Tangy Tamarind Bulgur Salad • Shurbat Addes—Hearty Red Lentil Soup with Garlic and Coriander • Kibbeh—Stuffed Syrian Meatballs with Ground Rice • Samak b’Batata—Baked Middle Eastern Whole Fish with Potatoes • Sambousak—Buttery Cheese-Filled Sesame Pastries • Eras bi’Ajweh—Date-Filled Crescents • Chai Na’na—Refreshing Mint Tea Like mainstream Middle Eastern cuisines, Aleppian Jewish dishes are alive with flavor and healthful ingredients—featuring whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and olive oil—but with their own distinct cultural influences. In Aromas of Aleppo , cooks will discover the best of Poopa Dweck’s recipes, which gracefully combine Mediterranean and Levantine influences, and range from small delights (or maza) to daily meals and regal holiday feasts—such as the twelve-course Passover seder. Aromas of Aleppo offers a rich ethnic feast for the palate, the eyes, and the soul. Review: amazing flavors - I got this from the library earlier in 2012 and tried cooking from it. I was so impressed with all of the recipes I tried, I put this at the top of my desertcart wishlist. I was just gifted this book and I can't wait to explore it even further. I am neither Jewish nor Syrian, but I find the history and photos of this so beautiful and touching - Mrs. Dweck has opened her heart as well as her family recipe book to share her heritage. I've tried the spinach-cheese frittata (p. 224), lemony allspice-cumin potato salad (p. 37), velvety lemon sauce (p. 198), carmelized onions stuffed with ground meat and rice (p. 147), and green peas and rice with coriander and meat (p. 118). All delicious. (The spinach cheese frittata is now a staple, even though I've probably already got at least 5 recipes similar to this dish.) I have found the recipes to be very clearly written and incredibly accessible. The ingredients are not so unusual that they can't be found at a good supermarket or Whole Foods: Tamarind paste, rosewater, pomegranate molasses, and Aleppo peper are the most unusual ingredients and those are all fairly common these days. There are many wonderful vegetable recipes, along with diary and meat dishes. The section on sweets and beverages could have been it's own book - it is that extensive and unique. I've got a sweet tooth so I can't wait to try SO many of them, such as candied apricots with pistachios (p. 287) and white coffee (p. 323) which is not coffee at all but an herbal infusion. (Though, I really don't like working with fillo dough, so I might skip the pistachio filla wedges in rose water syrup, p. 251. If someone would send me some I'd be most grateful.) Other recipes I'm anxious to try include tamarind-stewed meatballs (p. 162), okra in tomato sauce with meat (p. 88), red lentil soup with garlic and coriander (p. 106), eggs scrambled with rhubarb (p. 231), and roast chicken with crispy spaghetti (p. 192). Crispy spaghetti... in my house that would be considered a mistake, but in this recipe it bakes with a chicken and is served in a sauce with cinnamon and allspice. It sounds delicious. When I got this from the library, I read it almost cover to cover like a work of non-fiction, not a cookbook. it is beautiful, enlightening, heartfelt. The recipes are delicious, the photography and information are incredible - it's like cultural anthropology. I try and introduce my family to as many cultures as possible through cooking - I've always felt if you can meet anyone over their table, you will be able to make a friend. There is a heart and soul to the Syrian Jewish diaspora, and it is felt in this book. Cook from it and you will feel it too. Review: Great recipes and photos! - This book is truly wonderful! You can tell that the author put their heart and soul into this cookbook. My grandparents are Syrian Jews from Aleppo and I’ve been looking for a Syrian Jewish cookbook. This book exceeded all expectations, as it contains a lot more than just recipes. Full of history and photos, I’ve already learned so much. The book itself is great quality, clear photos and good size and binding. If you’re either Syrian, Jewish, or Syrian Jewish and you like traditional dishes I recommend this book 10/10! ## Features - Formats: hardcover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #64,482 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Jewish Holiday Cooking #22 in Kosher Cooking (Books) #37 in Middle Eastern Cooking, Food & Wine | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 336 Reviews | ## Images ![Aromas of Aleppo: The Legendary Cuisine of Syrian Jews - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xCIzMP6SL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing flavors *by G***N on January 4, 2013* I got this from the library earlier in 2012 and tried cooking from it.

If you didn't have the opportunity as me to get her recipes while she was alive, then this is a great book to get. Both my grandmothers came from Aleppo so this book is almost a treasure of sefaradic kitchen.
