FROM THE TIGRIS TO THE THAMES

FEATURED BOOK

FROM THE TIGRIS TO THE THAMES by LINDA DANGOOR. A beautifully illustrated memoir blended with a cookbook. Linda encompasses the recipes of her birthplace Iraq, London, Ibiza and Paris. She was unhappy to leave Iraq and has ever since felt “rootless” trying hard to be part of a new country. At first when she came to England in the Swinging 60s, she loved everything but after a while it felt like exile-loss of Arabic language and culture and it was the same in Paris. Through cooking dishes that reminded her of home she kept her roots alive. In this book she interweaves recipes from her four dwelling places with personal stories of home and belonging. Her ingredients are notable including mint, pomegranate molasses and sweet sour flavours.


Search Tips

  • Use the drop-down menu above to search the database

  • The Keyword option will search all fields concurrently, giving more results (and a wider result set)

  • Punctuation is ignored in searches to improve search results

  • When searching the Author field for an author whose surname contains a prefix or suffix (e.g. van der Merwe or de Beer) use only the root or main part of the surname (i.e. Merwe or Beer)

  • The search automatically searches anywhere within a field - there is no need to use any boolean functions nor special markup characters when searching

  • Use the Search within results option to narrow search results down. Use multiple words to return more refined results. For example, typing 'concrete practice report' will return more relevant results than typing just 'report'.
