From Pomegranate-Lentil Soup, Greek Holiday Bread, and Filo Triangles, to Grilled Spicy Calves' Liver, Egyptian Rice, and Pistachio Baklava, every mouth-watering recipe is "kitchen cook friendly" and offers both novelty and delectable nutrition that will be much appreciated by everyone at the table.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Intriguing cookbook, May 6, 2008

This review is from: Mideast & Mediterranean Cuisines (Paperback)

Mideast & Mediterranean Cuisines Every page in this cookbook has something interesting. The introduction contains history and description of the different cuisines of the Mideast and Meidterranean spheres. These are, according to the author, Persian (Iranian); Arab (including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and the Arabain Peninsula; Near East (including Turkey, Armenia, and Greece); North African (including Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco; and Israeli.

The glossary of food items intrigues me with little items about such foods as couscous, grape leaves, hummus, and feta.

Usually we pick up cookbooks and look for something we'd like to cook. I cannot find anything in this book I don't want to cook.

This book is a rare treasure. On Amazon there are a few used ones. I thank the relative who gave me a copy!

This review is from: Mideast & Mediterranean Cuisines (Paperback)

For years I followed Rose Dosti's Culinary SOS article in the LA Times. I however, lived in Tacoma. We moved to southern California four years ago and I internet searched all her archived articles available from the LA Times. I found all her books on Amazon and just had to have them. If I had a way to meet this woman I would have, but as I understand, she sadly passed away. Her love of all Mideast and Mediterranean cuisine shines in this book and a go to book for cooking such. Not a diet book, but very healthy none the less and highly recommended!
