Color and spark come from ripe red pomegranates, golden saffron threads, and the fresh herbs served at every meal.

More than 125 recipes, framed with stories and photographs of people and places, introduce us to a culinary paradise where ancient legends and ruins rub shoulders with new beginnings—where a wealth of history and culinary traditions makes it a compelling place to read about for cooks and travelers and for anyone hankering to experience the food of a wider world.Thyroid Diseases: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, And Treatment (Endocrinology Ser.)
