Flavors of the Sun
The Sahadi’s Guide to Understanding, Buying, and Using Middle Eastern Ingredients
Sumac. Urfa pepper. Halvah. Pomegranate molasses. Preserved lemons. The seasonings, staples, and spice blends used throughout the Middle East region have endless potential to transform food — once you know how to use them.
In Flavors of the Sun, the people behind the iconic Brooklyn market Sahadi's showcase the versatility of these ingredients in over 120 simple dishes, including starters, salads, soups, family-friendly meals, and desserts. With sections devoted to Bright, Savory, Spiced, Nutty, and Sweet accents, it offers inspiration, techniques, and intensely flavourful recipes for using everything from Aleppo pepper to za'atar with confidence.
Throughout, no-recipe recipes help build up your flavour intuition so you can effortlessly use, and use up, any of the featured spices, condiments, and preserves and breathe new life into your standard repertoire in the process.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
