{"product_id":"soo-fariista-come-sit-down-a-somali-american-cookbook","title":"Soo Fariista \/ Come Sit Down: A Somali American Cookbook","description":"Somali Americans celebrate a shared heritage at mealtime. No matter how they found their way to America, members of this community come together over kackac, bur, and halwad (that is, tea, beignets, and sweets).\n\nRealizing how quickly traditions can change in a culture on the move, Somali American students set out to preserve their culinary legacy by interviewing family members, researching available and alternative ingredients, and testing kitchen techniques. In Soo Fariista \/ Come Sit Down, seventy recipes for everything from saabuuse (stuffed pastry) to suqaar (sauteed meat) to canjeelo (flatbread) to shushumow (fried sweet dough) honor memories and flavors from East Africa with adjustments for American realities. An introduction explores Somali foodways and their transitions in the United States, and each contributor is highlighted with his or her story. Notes on the recipes share the students’ journey from \"a little of this and a little of that\" to methods that will bring success in Somali American cooking to novices and practiced hands alike.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1681340852\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.1681340852.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wariyaa|Ali, Osman Mohamed\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
