Download or read book The Flavors of Iraq written by Feurat Alani and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1989. My first trip to Iraq. The taste of apricot. “Never say Saddam’s name.” The Western media largely glossed over the immense human suffering that occurred in Iraq during the embargo of the 1990s and the Iraq War. With this innovative and award-winning graphic novel, French-Iraqi journalist Feurat Alani sets that record straight. The Flavors of Iraq unfolds as a series of one thousand tweets. In them, Alani describes his experiences in Iraq from 1989, when he traveled from France to meet his extended family in Iraq for the first time, to 2011, when the last Americans pulled out of the country. Alani recounts the vivid impressions this place made on him as a child—its wondrous colors, tastes, and smells. And he documents the sounds, silences, and smells of a war in which hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians lost their lives. Illustrated by the striking art of Léonard Cohen and with a foreword by Ross Caputi, a former US Marine who served in Iraq from 2003 to 2006, The Flavors of Iraq tells a poetic and powerful story of an oppressed population, an illegal war, and a country that no longer exists.

Download or read book Fusion by Nadia written by Aviva Nadia Kleinbaum and published by . This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is rare nowadays for a son to get the opportunity to spend time with his mother, especially when it is not a holiday or tragic event. The following recipes are the result of over two and a half years of arguments, fighting, aggravation, and love. While this may not be the most perfectly refined example of modern cookery, it has heart and many great recipes. This cookbook is also a story. It is the journey of a woman as seen through her son's eyes. The stories paint a picture of Iraq, Israel, America and most of all, my mother's remarkable journey, all with the purpose of bringing the reader new ideas, flavors and attitudes to cooking. This book embodies all the joy that comes with feeding the ones you love (and even those that you don't.)-Aric MutchnickThis cookbook is not about the right way of cooking, it is about an attitude towards cooking. A recipe is just a guideline for your creativity and love to flourish. Cooking is about learning, not following the rules. Change any ingredients you like, create your own recipe, and learn from your children. I learned that is there is no formula for raising kids, only love and trying what works. Cooking is no different; it is about love and figuring out what gives you joy. I have never met a recipe I did not change. In cooking, the only authenticity you must pledge loyalty to is yourself. -Aviva Nadia Kleinbaum

Download or read book They Say We Are Infidels written by Mindy Belz and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now with a new chapter! “Everywhere militants were blowing up Christians, their churches, their shops. They threatened them with kidnapping. They promised to take their children. The message to these ‘infidels’: You have no place in Iraq. Pay a penalty to stay, leave, or be killed.” Sweeping from Syria into Iraq, Islamic State fighters (ISIS) have been brutalizing and annihilating Christians. How? Why? Where did the terrorists come from, and what can be done to stop them? For more than a decade, journalist Mindy Belz has reported on the ground from the Middle East, giving her unparalleled access to the story no one wants to believe. In They Say We Are Infidels, she brings the stark reality of this escalating genocide to light, tracking the stories of real-life Christians who refuse to abandon their faith—even in the face of losing everything, including their lives. As Reading Lolita in Tehran did for Iran and We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families did for Rwanda, They Say We Are Infidels shines light into the Middle East through the stories of everyday heroes and heroines who will not be silenced. A must-read for anyone seeking a firmer grasp on the complex dynamics at play in war-torn Iraq and Syria, They Say We Are Infidels is the eye-opening and revelatory testimony of a journalist who heads into a war zone—and is forever changed by the people she encounters there.
Download or read book Melodies Under the Palms written by Salma Ajo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-24 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this book is to introduce the Iraq I used to know, and bring about a different perspective to a country that has been so harshly portrayed by the media. The reader will be taken back to a time where Iraq was filled with culture and diversity, and experience what it was like to grow up in the region of the Fertile Crescent. The true beauty of such a wonderful country will be brought to light and its vast history will leave readers in awe. It is my hope that this book will raise a new level of awareness and bring about feelings toward a culture that seems all but gone forever. Although the Iraq I used to know is longer such, my memories will make sure that it stays with us for eternity. I am pleased to share my personal experiences and feel readers from all backgrounds will enjoy them.

Download or read book The Flavor Thesaurus More Flavors written by Niki Segnit and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plant-led follow-up to The Flavor Thesaurus, "a rich and witty and erudite collection" (Epicurious), featuring 92 essential ingredients and hundreds of flavor combinations. “After all the combinations you think you know, the ones you've never even considered will blow your mind ... Eggplants take you to chocolate, which takes you to miso, which takes you to seaweed, which takes you to a recipe in another book or a restaurant dish you have to hunt down straight away. The curiosity is infectious, the possibilities inspiring on this ingredient-led voyage.”--Yotam Ottolenghi in The New York Times Magazine, on how he uses More Flavors for recipe development "[Segnit is] a flavor genius . . . creative, imaginative, and fun."--Mark Bittman With her debut cookbook, The Flavor Thesaurus, Niki Segnit taught readers that no matter whether an ingredient is “grassy” like dill, cucumber, or peas, or “floral fruity” like figs, roses, or blueberries, flavors can be created in wildly imaginative ways. Now, she again draws from her “phenomenal body of work” (Yotam Ottolenghi) to produce a new treasury of pairings-this time with plant-led ingredients. More Flavors explores the character and tasting notes of chickpea, fennel, pomegranate, kale, lentil, miso, mustard, rye, pine nut, pistachio, poppy seed, sesame, turmeric, and wild rice-as well as favorites like almond, avocado, garlic, lemon, and parsley from the original-then expertly teaches readers how to pair them with ingredients that complement. With her celebrated blend of science, history, expertise, anecdotes, and signature sense of humor, Niki Segnit's More Flavors is a modern classic of food writing, and a brilliantly useful, engaging reference book for every cook's kitchen.
Download or read book Danbaghdad written by Dan Morris and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the untold story about one of the most debated yet misunderstood conflicts in modern history. Many are not aware of the numerous events leading up to the invasion of Iraq, or if weapons of mass destruction were found. Danbaghdad reveals what you were never told about the war in Iraq as documented through one man's detailed account of daily life in the "not-so-heavily-fortified" Green Zone. As the official representative of the Treasury Department for criminal matters, IRS Special Agent/Attaché Dan Morris worked with members of the HVI Committee, the Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS - similar to our CIA), the Commission on Public Integrity (CPI - similar to our FBI), the Iraqi National Security Council, the National Intelligence Coordination Committee, and numerous other agencies in matters involving military and law enforcement issues. He also attended a portion of Saddam Hussein's trial and participated in raids with US and Iraqi Special Forces as a member of the Iraq Threat Finance Cell. These experiences provided a unique opportunity to view Iraq from multiple perspectives which were documented, as they occurred, in personal journal entries that serve as the backbone of the book. These raw entries retain the "flavor" and spontaneity of original thoughts and first-hand accounts of the real Iraq at that time. To set the stage for the book and to provide a better understanding of issues discussed in the journal, extensive research was conducted to document additional historical information about Saddam Hussein, Iraq, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Accounts of raids with Special Forces, riding on Route Irish, "corkscrew" landings in the back of a C-130, flying in a Black Hawk in blackout mode at night, and many others are detailed. Learn about Saddam Hussein's rise to power, how he earned the title "The Butcher of Baghdad", and details of his capture (Operation Red Dawn), final days, and execution. His barbaric nature is revealed in events such as the killing of his sons-in-law and the genocide of the Kurds, including the infamous Halabja Massacre. Glimpse inside the courtroom of the second trial of Saddam Hussein with a rare first-hand narrative of the curious tribunal setting, the unusual antics during the trial, and the testimony of witnesses regarding the murder of men, women, and children. See how "willful blindness" was practiced as rampant political corruption within the newly-formed government robbed Iraq of funds that were badly needed to rebuild its infrastructure. Learn about dedicated Iraqis such as Brigadier General Radwan, a member of the HVI Committee, Dr. Nazar al-Waelly, advisor to the Iraqi National Security Council, and Judge Radhi, head of the CPI, as they struggled to rebuild Iraq. Meanwhile, a growing Iranian influence became so strong within Iraqi leadership that some in our government proposed blackmailing Iraqi officials to ensure they would make decisions commensurate with US policies. Read about frequent rocket and mortar attacks, sniper fire, improvised explosive devices, and other types of bombs encountered throughout the Green Zone, some striking our US Embassy. Life in a war zone is sometimes stranger than fiction and part of it is captured here with war-time humor, bizarre anecdotes, and tales of random events that affected mere moments in time yet saved someone's life. This is the true story of Special Agent/Attaché Dan Morris at the United States Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, from August 2006 through August 2007, one of the most dangerous time periods for Americans to be there.

Download or read book Flavors from Home written by Aimee Zaring and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipes from Hungary, Vietnam, Bosnia, Bhutan, and more that “document the international language of all people―food and cooking” (Maggie Green, author of The Kentucky Fresh Cookbook). Each year, the United States legally resettles refugees who have fled their homelands, driven out by violence or persecution. As they and their families struggle to adapt to a new culture, the kitchen often becomes one of the few places where they are able to return “home”—finding comfort in an unfamiliar land, retaining their customs, reconnecting with their past, and preserving a sense of identity. In Flavors from Home, Aimee Zaring shares fascinating, moving stories of courage, perseverance, and self-reinvention from Kentucky’s resettled refugees. Each chapter features a different person or family and includes carefully selected recipes from places like Cuba, Iraq, Iran, and Somalia. These traditional dishes have nourished both body and soul for people like Huong “CoCo” Tran, who fled South Vietnam in 1975 when Communist troops invaded Saigon, or Kamala Pati Subedi, who was stripped of his citizenship and forced out of Bhutan because of political and religious persecution. Whether shared at farmers’ markets, restaurants, community festivals, or simply among friends and neighbors, these dishes contribute to the ongoing evolution of American comfort food just as the refugees themselves are redefining what it means to be American. Featuring more than forty recipes from around the globe, Flavors from Home reaches across the table to explore the universal language of food. “Scrumptious . . . In addition to accessible culinary instruction on an array of global recipes, readers receive the vivid life histories of the cooks themselves. What comes through most poignantly is the resilience and hope of these cooks―people who change the place they’ve come to as much as they are changed by it.” ―Neela Vaswani, author of You Have Given Me a Country
