Episode notes
Hi, food nerds! We hope you enjoy this week's episode where Nick makes Omani food from Jokha Alharthi's 2010 novel (published in English in 2018) Celestial Bodies. The dishes this week include Omani halwa (jelly sweets), khubz ragtag (flatbread with honey and butter), chicken broth, and qahwa (coffee). Nick also shares a little bit from his research on Zanzibar, Oman, and the history of slavery and abolition in the Al Busaidi empire around the Indian Ocean.
