Arab fairy tale feasts: a literary cookbook

The meal and the conversation, introduction

Juicy apricots

The lion repents

The story and the chickpeas

A pot of coins

Fish soup in Gaza

Abu Nawas tells a tale

Why chicken and ostrich cannot fly

The last supper

Student of the marshlands

The brickmaker's hoard

The sultan and his wazir

The kindly old man

The genie in the sack

The dream garden

In happiness and health, afterword.
