Yasmin Khan

Yasmin Khan is known for her successful cookbook - Zaitoun. She is back with Ripe FIgs with a number of vibrant recipes and stories that bridge between the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

As a region, the Eastern Mediterranean is known as the intersectionality between cultures and cuisine via trade, commerce and migration. Yasmin examines this activity throughout the region from the Ottoman Empire and forwrd to those communities that inhabit the area now.

In addition to these tales, she looks at what identity means in an interconnected world and how these recipes create commonalities. She shares ingredients that are used including dill, oregano, citrus, dates, thick tahini and soothing cardamom. You'll find a selection of healthy, seasonal, vegetable-focused recipes, such as hot yogurt soups, zucchini and feta fritters, pomegranate and sumac chicken, and candied pumpkin with tahini and date syrup.

The perfect cookbook for the home cook, there are stunning food and location photography that celebrates this diverse region.
