This review is from: The Art of Israeli Cooking (Hippocrene International Cookbook Classics) (Paperback)

Generally, Hippocrene has great language guides and cookbook, but this is an exception to the rule. The nearly miniscule cookbook has few really mouthwatering recipies, and if you are not familiar with Jewish traditions, you're going to be totally lost. And amazingly (especially for a Hippocrene book), there are NO explainations about the origins of the dishes.

So what can you find here? There are some decent sounding dishes, but overall, there is not that much that really grabs my tongue. And where can I find smoked goose in the USA? HUH?! Then there is the utterly idiotic recipie for a "TV dinner," which is little more that cold cuts and ketchup. This is tripe, pure and simple drivel disguised as a cookbook.

Israel does offer quite a good deal of good cooking, and it's quite a surprise that this cookbook has somehow been so little in substance and taste. Buy a different Israeli cookbook, or if you're looking for Middle Eastern cookbooks, check out Nasrallah's Delights from the Garden of Eden, which is hands down the best Middle Eastern cookbook every produced.
