4.0 out of 5 stars authentic recipes, April 19, 2007

This review is from: Cooking the North African Way (Easy Menu Ethnic Cookbooks) (Hardcover)

although this book does not hold a huge tome of recipes, the recipes in the book well represent basic North African dishes that are pretty straight-forward and that you will find on the table. The ingredients are not difficult to come by particularly the spices...they are the basics and can be bought in bulk from many middle eastern or mediterranean stores to save money, but also can be found in the grocery store aisles. There is a nice section in the beginning detailing the people and cultures from the various North African countries. There are several pictures of the recipes throughout the book. The word 'authentic' in the title of the book speaks true. Nice book to add to your collection, and recipes that are in the book will also satisfy the palates of those that are not of North African origin. I find this book more authentic with a nicer selection of recipes than Hilaire Walden's bigger book, "North African Cooking". My reason for 4 stars is because I just wish there were more recipes.

This is one of the newer releases from Lerner in this FINE line of cookbooks. They are supposed to be for kids, but they are great and people of all ages will love them. These cookbooks are not big, but they give a wide array of dishes to try and give sample menus for you to serve to your family and guests. The Harira recipe is very good and the Egyptian coconut cake is amazing! The ingredients are realistic and available and the directions are not too complex. Anyone with basic cooking skills will get good results.
