Recently a girlfriend of mine came back from a missions trip to Egypt. She is an avid cook and loves to buy cookbooks. She makes cakes, amish bread, and cookies from scratch. The latest edition to her cookbook family is a book called Egyptian Soups Hot and Cold written by John Feeney. Every page is a snapshot bursting vibrant color and featuring recips such as cream of guava and ginger soup. No drab white pages in this book.
Best known for his landmark documentary films and still photography that have chronicled much of Egypt's life and many of its greater and lesser events over the last four decades, also happens to be something of a wizard in the kitchen, and he has finally been persuaded to share the recipes for some of his most original - and extraordinarily tasty - creations for all to enjoy: ten hot and seven cold soups of the Egyptian winter and summer.
