Lugma - Noor Murad

Lugma is an ode to the food chef Noor grew up eating—traditional flavors and modern dishes from Bahrain, the surrounding Middle East, and beyond. Featuring over 100 recipes, the book is a vibrant celebration of culture, heritage, and culinary creativity.

Lugma in Arabic means "a bite." For Noor—co-author of two Ottolenghi Test Kitchen cookbooks—those bites have shaped her career. Raised in Bahrain and now based in London, she draws on the elaborate rice dishes and black limes of the Gulf, the herb-heavy and sour flavors of Iran, the heat and spice of Indian cuisine, and the vibrant dishes of the Levant to form a collection that is both rooted and reimagined.

From Spring Time Fattoush and Stuffed Baby Aubergines to Slow-cooked Fenugreek Lamb with Pickled Chillies and Pistachio Cake with Labneh, these recipes are filled with warmth, depth, and the kind of food meant to be shared.
