Butcher, who runs the London-based Persian food store Persepolis, offers snacks, mezze, and street foods from "Snackistan" (a fictitious region encompassing the Middle East, Greece, and Sudan). Like Rena Patten's Mezze, this cookbook incorporates a variety of recipes for dips, grilled meats, and marinated, pickled, and fried snacks. (LJ 12/14)
