Perfect Results from these Recipes!,
This review is from: Dining on the Nile: Exploring Egyptian Cooking (Paperback)
After collecting Middle Eastern cookbooks for over 30 years, I decided to add to my collection by purchasing Dining on the Nile: Exploring Egyptian Cooking. It's not only a cookbook but an enjoyable book to read as the author has provided some short stories. I have tried numerous recipes and they have turned out perfect! The book is published for the American kitchen so the measurements and ingredients are easily understood. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in Middle Eastern cooking, especially Egyptian, which can be difficult to find. As a bonus, there are many vegetarian recipes especially helpful to Orthodox Christians during the fasts of the church year. Great Book!

This review is from: Dining on the Nile: Exploring Egyptian Cooking (Paperback)
The minute I got this book I made one of my favorite recipes for Koshari. There are many different versions of this dish but this was the only book that had the version that my wonderful husband's mother makes. Mine isn't as good as hers...but...wonderful. Overall, this book is well rounded with recipes of Egypt. And thank you for the apricot pudding recipe...I've had it once when I was in Egypt and the author is right...once you have it you will never forget it and will often dream about it. I hope I can do her recipe justice.
