Honey & Co: Chasing Smoke : Cooking Over Fire Around the Levant by Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich

The award-winning Honeys are back with more delicious dishes from the Middle East, and this time their focus is firmly on the grill.

Join Sarit and Itamar on a journey filled with flavor and fire as they visit their favorite cities collecting recipes, stories, and the best of culinary culture along the way.

Fire has always seasoned Sarit and Itamar's food--both at home and in their own grill house, Honey & Smoke (London)--and now you too will fall in love with this comforting, no-fuss, fare. It couldn't be easier to create a simple mouth-watering meal for two, or a joyful feast for your friends and family. From grilled peaches with almond tahini and charred endive, figs with manouri cheese and pomegranate sauce, prawns in honey and fresh cilantro, and smoked short ribs, the scent and flavor created by the meeting of heat, wood, flesh, and plant will never fail to lend your food a special, magical quality.

You'll also find five city features on Alexandria, Egypt; Amman, Jordan; Acre, Israel; Izmir, Turkey; and Thessaloniki, Greece, all bursting with inspiration from the best fire-fueled eateries each destination has to offer--from the greatest grill houses to the humblest roadside kebab joints, balcony culture, and open fires on shores. Complete with culinary souvenirs including beautiful ingredient combinations, age-old tricks and techniques, curious kitchen tools, and clever 'rainy day' advice on how to recreate the dishes using a conventional oven or stovetop, heat the coals, come together, and cook with the flavor of smoke.
