Book Description

Publication Date: March 13, 2006

Food . I have never been a gourmet cook, but I have always been a gourmet eater! In the Spring of 2002 I began gathering recipes from my sister-friends from around the world. Their seventy-eight recipes including a few of my own are offered in this cookbook for your dining pleasure. I haven't any preference for one recipe over another as I love each of them! Fun and Laughter. You will love reading the original funny-food short stories and poems included in this unique cookbook as you relax and smell the tantalizing aromas of your supper wafting from the kitchen! The food-funny comic illustrations created by talented illustrator, Shirley Gavin, are the cookbook's "little jewels" among the treasure trove of scrumptious recipes waiting for you to enjoy! Halal Food, Fun and Laughter. Combines a winning "recipe" for a healthy lifestyle: good halal food, some fun and laughter and last but most importantly, remembrances of Allah, by inclusion of some wonderful food-specific Qur'an and Hadith to help create a happier and healthier recipe for your life.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Potpourri of tastes, July 20, 2006

Halaal Food, Fun and Laughter by Linda, D. Delgado is a recipe book that is bound to become a favourite in every kitchen. Recipes gathered from aroung the world come together in a collection that creates a veritable taste explosion. The recipes were easy to follow and successful all round. The poetry and foodie anecdotes added a nice touch to the collection making it a rather unique recipe book. On the down side, I found the lack of pictures to be a bit disappointing. But hey, at that price, I'm not going to complain.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the recipes sound great, July 20, 2006

This review is from: Halal Food, Fun and Laughter (Paperback)

I'm the kind of person who flips through recipe books saying, "Oh my goodness! Who in their right mind would make that?" Even when I do settle on a recipe that sounds good, I tend to add ingredients, or change the proportions to suit myself. Amazingly, ALL the recipes in this little book sound great. I haven't tried them all yet, but the ones I have were indeed delicious, without my souping them up.

As for the stories and poems, the first time I picked up the cookbook, I simply had to read through them all. They add a wonderful personal touch to the recipes. It's like cooking with grandma -- listening to her tales while whipping up something wonderful.

This is a very nice book to own. I keep mine in the kitchen for easy access to many great recipes. What is so wonderful about this book, is that it contains a variety of food, some American style recipes, as well as recipes from other countries and nationalities. There is also an entertainment factor to this collection. Poetry, short annecdotes and fun blurbs abound in this book! I absolutely enjoyed it!
