I met Anne Marie Weiss-Armush while living and working in Saudi Arabia from 1983-1985.

She is a warm friendly person who participated in the International Woman's Guild which I was Vice President of.

I learned a lot about the Middle East and the Cuisine of the Middle East countries from her and her book.

I highly recommend it. The recipes are truly authentic and easy to make and delicious. I like that there are recipes representing several countries.

She has also included little stories about the recipes and the countries they are from. And she has a list of Arabic terms translated into English and a conversion table for foreign equivalents and the metric conversion table which are very useful.

My book is rather worn now as I have made many recipes from it and my family and guest have really enjoyed them all.

This review is from: Arabian Cuisine (Hardcover)

I received this book from a family member after visiting the Middle East and have used it for 16+ years to fix my Arabic husband and my family "homemade" dishes that he grew up with. As a novice, I quickly learned to be an excellent cook with the illustrations and detailed instructions.... Even my Arabic Mother-in-Law loves my cooking..... ; )So much fun to experiment with all the spice blends used thoughout the different regions. I have given this for housewarming and wedding gifts and they have always been delighted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arabian Cuisine by Anne Marie Weiss-Armush, January 1, 2008

This review is from: Arabian Cuisine (Hardcover)

Arabian cooking seems to most westerners as exotic as the Arabian Nights. This book presents the well known intricate dishes such as the numerous stuffed vegetables that originated in the elegant courts of the Caliphates. Other foods have a cultural significance, marking the end of the Ramadan fast or the birth of a child. Arabian hospitality demands that coffee and refreshments be offered in abundance to bid each honored guest welcome.
