Hi, this is Christopher Kimball. Thanks for listening to Milk Street Radio. You can go to our website

177Milkstreet.com to get our recipes, to stream our television show, or to get our latest

cookbooks. Here's this week's show.

This is Moist Street Radio from PRX.

I'm your host, Christopher Kimball.

From Africa to Asian, even parts of Europe, the legacy of Arab cuisine, reaches far beyond the Middle East.

In her new book, The Arabest Table, writer and cookbook author Riem Casiz, pulls together the vast

diaspora of Arab cuisine, using recipes to build a foundation for the cooking and culture

of the Arab world.

You can advance.

You can move forward. You can adapt. You can move forward.

You can adapt dishes to suit your lifestyle.

But as long as you recognize the past that it comes from, then at least you're doing it

justice and you're not letting it get lost in all the noise.

Also coming up, we make a recipe for pasta with a tomato garlic and basil sauce that still tastes fresh without fresh tomatoes.

And we explore what people in the past thought food would look like in the future.

But first, it's my interview with folie artist Marco Costanzo about the surprising role of food plays in movies.

Marco, welcome to Milkstreet.
