5.0 out of 5 stars Tastes from around the world in the age-old clay-pot, January 21, 2000

By	Brenda Hansen (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews

The recipes collected are representative of ancient cooking from many cultures. Traditional clay-pots from each culture are described. Each recipe has detailed, clear instructions. This is not a throw-the-ingredients-in-the-pot book. A number of the recipes are time consuming and require several cooking steps prior to adding all the ingredients to the clay-pot. Most clay-pot dishes bring to mind homey, comfort foods. These dishes have a fresh, lively nature. I think the secret to this is two-fold: the use of fresh ingredients and a lower cooking temperature than is called for in the classic clay-pot cookbooks. The food photography deserves praise too.

3.0 out of 5 stars To complicated, June 7, 2000

By	Marshall Rogers (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There aren't a ton of recipes, and you have to have a certain type of pot to cook certain meals. While it is ambitous, it's not the best general clay pot cooking book out there
