Traditional Arabic Cooking,
By A Customer
This review is from: Traditional Arabic Cooking (Hardcover)
I have a collection of around 700 cookbooks now so I am pretty picky about buying new ones. I checked this one out at the library thinking I would only find a few recipes I liked but ended up liking about every page! I had to have my own book. The recipes are great and most are easy to follow. For the more adventuresome, there are recipes for yogurt and for cheese. I especially found the bread section inviting. I can almost smell them baking. Lots of marinades, pickling, and grilled items, too. I am really looking forward to using the recipes this summer for BBQ's.

This review is from: Traditional Arabic Cooking (Hardcover)
I took a chance on this book and I was very well rewarded. I paid around $10 for it which included the shipping cost. I should have paid $50. This book includes not only specifically Arab recipes, but also Turkish, Persian, and Lebanese specialities. Sometimes the names are different, but they're in there. Lahmacun, Fessenjan, Kibbe, all are here under their Arabic names. I've even tried some of the bread recipes and managed to make a pretty good pita bread. Considering I barely know how to use my oven, this is quite a feat! There is an odd bit where a page seems to be missing in the bread section, as one of the recipes ends abruptly. Otherwise this book was beautiful, with lots of photos and very clear instructions. If you're curious at all about the food of the Arab world, this is a great place to start.
