5.0 out of 5 stars I'm ordering it again to replace my missing book!, January 19, 2000

This review is from: Persian Cuisine: Traditional Foods/Book 1 (Paperback)

I have missed this book. I had two Persian cookbooks and of the two, this one was by far the better book: for its presentation (easy to read and follow); for the finished product (the food always tasted great); and the author presented the cook with substitutes which were easy to find in any grocery store. I remember making some adjustments (e.g., too much salt was used in the steamed rice or "polo" instructions or once or twice we believed there was a mistranslation) but this is minor. Overall I came to use this book quite a bit and have missed having it my kitchen repertoire so much that I went out of my way to track it down! THANK YOU AMAZON.COM!

The directions are simple and easy to follow. Recipes are in English on one side and Farsi on the other. Suggestions for substitutions are helpful.

I've had this indespensable book for about 17 years now. I am not Iranian, but have several Iranian/Persian friends who all tell me this book is very authentic. Don't know what I would do without it.
