Do-able Dishes for Every Day
Hisham El-Waylly
Quirky, beloved, fun-loving New York Times Cooking video star Ham El-Waylly combines his unique personal heritage (representing the cuisines of Qatar, Bolivia, Brazil, and Egypt) with his 15 years as a professional chef to bring delicious, global recipes to home cooks. Deeply rooted in everyone’s nostalgia, Ham centers culture and community in his recipes-featuring beloved dishes from across different nations that carry a can’t quite put my finger on it hominess, regardless of the origin. Within these pages, cooks of all experience levels learn the base flavors of cuisines around the world, freeing them to mix, match, and alter classic dishes into something delicious and new.
