The great fertility of the Nile valley provided the ancient Egyptians with a delicious and wholesome diet ranging from staples such as bread and beer to herbs and spices like dill, mint and cumin. Using these ingredients the British Museum's 'chef du tempe perdu' has created 35 recipes for dishes the pharaohs and their people may have eaten, including soups, starters and snacks, main dishes, desserts and baking.

This review is from: Food fit for Pharaohs: An Ancient Egyptian Cookbook (Paperback)
This is an interesting, short, book of current Egyptian dishes. However, the title is missleading!! Readers would buy the book, excpecting (as the title suggests), real ancient Egyptian recipes (especially that the book is published by the British Museum), but will find that all the dishes in the book are simply contemporary.

This review is from: Food fit for Pharaohs: An Ancient Egyptian Cookbook (Hardcover)
I received the book in a timely fashion. It was in excellent condition. I bought it as a gift. I looked through it briefly. I'm sure the recipient will enjoy it very much. I would definitely consider buying from this seller again.
