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 book is amazing! All the recipes are acurate and they come out perfect. My family loves it and I always use it specially when I have dinner parties.

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.

I am very pleased with this cookbook. I am married to a Christian Egyptian. This is the first book I have found to give the true history of the Coptics and offer a wide variety of tasty food. Thank you for making a great cookbook. I recommend it highly.

I've been hearing so many wonderful things about this cookbook and was searching to purchase one new or used. Once I saw the price that these sellers are asking: $149.99 PLUS SHIPPING! Thieves that's all you are. looking to make a rediculouse profit off a great book. Shame on you, what a rip off!

I liked the homey feeling of this cookbook but have not actually cooked anything from it. Being Arabic American - this book does have most of the recipes I grew up with. I do plan of using it one day but I thought the book was very well put together.
