SOFRAMIZ: Vibrant Middle Eastern Recipes from Sofra Bakery and Cafe is an enchanting collection of recipes inspired by the markets and kitchens of Turkey and beyond, from the James Beard Award–nominated chefs behind Boston’s Sofra Bakery and Cafe.

Ana Sortun and Maura Kilpatrick have spent years frequenting the electric cafes and souks of the Middle East, researching ingredients and gaining inspiration for their uber-popular Sofra Bakery and Cafe. In their first cookbook together, these two demystify and explore the flavors of the region, recreating the famed hospitality of the Middle East through recipes for beloved dishes, such as shawarma, hummus, and baklava. Their preparations are rooted in tradition but also adapted for an American audience, a unique hybrid that has won them fans around the world. With a primer on essential ingredients and techniques, Soframiz will transport readers to the markets and kitchens of the Middle East.
