Table Tales
The Global Nomad CuisineOF
Abu Dhabi
BY HANAN SAYED WORELL
The Global Nomad Cuisine of Abu Dhabi, author Hanan Sayed Worrell offers up a taste of the cosmopolitan community of the city. With its multicultural population, Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, offers an immense tapestry of cuisines. Table Tales is the story of communities forming themselves through the sharing of food, traditions, and culture. The book is organized by decade, showcasing the global nomads who came to call Abu Dhabi home in each decade and the recipes they cherish. We also meet Emiratis who share traditional family recipes, inviting us to sample a cuisine that is largely unknown. As the city has grown, a thriving urban food culture has emerged to include everything from food trucks to contemporary restaurants. Besides home cooks, Table Tales introduces us to some of the restaurateurs behind this culinary culture of reinvention and collaboration. Whether you like to travel, cook, read, or just have a glimpse into the lives of a cast of fascinating individuals, this beautiful, full-colour book will take you on a truly global voyage.
