My book
Cooking with Marcela: Arabic Cuisine
My family's Arabic recipes, explained step by step so they turn out at home, even if you have never cooked Arabic food. 55 home recipes, most with a full-page photo, using everyday cup and spoon measurements.
My sister Violeta dreamed of gathering our family recipes into a book and wrote them down by hand, one by one. This cookbook is a tribute to her.
