Opis

Beef tenderloin is luxury food. Beef Wellington is made by rolling a beef tenderloin in puff pastry and bake it in an oven. When Mustafa bakes his Beef Wellington, it looks appetizing and promising on the surface, but in reality there is only cheap filling inside, chickpeas, potato and tomato puree. And above all, not a MILLIGRAMME of beef tenderloin. He folds it into a nice-looking loaf. Beef Wellington a la Mustafa is a trick, to serve people something different than they think they are served. Mustafa, the comedian who can neither read nor write, uses Beef Wellington to solve any problem that may confront him. Recently such Mustafa-special dishes have become fashionable everywhere. He can use celebrities like George Bush, David Letterman, Mel Gibson, Karl Lagerfeld, and many more ... to convince and manipulate with the aid of humour, religion, history, and politics. Welcome to Mustafa's two so-different worlds From a jasmine seller on a beach in Tunisia to Stureplan, Stockholm's most sophisticated neighbourhood. He drives around Stockholm on his delivery bike, in the hope of meeting "the walking cash machine, Mademoiselle Nordea" (Nordea is a bank in Sweden), who could produce his comedy. Beef Wellington a la Mustafa is humour, but humour is more than just jokes and laughter. It can be used for other purposes as well. It is good for your health, for the body and soul, but also for learning a new language and culture. Beef Wellington a la Mustafa has been translated into Swedish, French, Spanish, Italian and Arabic. Humour is the best way to learn a new language."
