Bedouin hospitality has not changed over the ages, but Arabian cuisine has undergone a remarkable evolution in the last 100 years, making it extremely diverse. This diversity is due, in part, to the explosion of wealth on the Arabian peninsula which has drawn people\u0026#8212;along with their foods and cooking methods\u0026#8212;from around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blending of these culinary worlds has produced something remarkable. In \u003ci\u003eThe Arabian Nights Cookbook\u003c/i\u003e, author Habeeb Salloum has compiled an amazing array of recipes that celebrate this blending of cultures while still making it compatible with the everyday kitchens of the Western world.
