Step into the vibrant flavours of the Middle East with Lugma: Abundant Dishes and Stories from My Middle East by Noor Murad. This beautifully crafted hardcover cookbook is a celebration of heritage, storytelling, and modern Middle Eastern cuisine, offering over 100 recipes inspired by the author’s upbringing in Bahrain and her global culinary journey.
“Lugma” means “a bite” in Arabic, and this book reflects exactly that philosophy—each recipe is designed to be deeply satisfying, layered with flavour, and worth coming back to again and again. Noor Murad, former head of the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen, brings her refined yet intuitive approach to food, blending traditional Gulf dishes with influences from Iran, India, and the Levant.
The cookbook includes a wide range of recipes such as spring fattoush, stuffed aubergines, slow-cooked fenugreek lamb, spiced rice dishes, vibrant vegetable plates, and indulgent desserts like pistachio cake with labneh. Each recipe is paired with personal stories, cultural context, and stunning photography, making it as much a narrative journey as a culinary guide.
Designed with full-colour photography and a premium hardcover finish, Lugma also doubles as a striking coffee table book—perfect for styled kitchens, open shelving, and curated interiors. It invites readers not only to cook but to experience food as memory, culture, and connection.
This is an essential addition for food lovers, cookbook collectors, and anyone drawn to bold, aromatic, and expressive cooking. Published by Quadrille, the hardcover edition contains approximately 288 pages.
