I was rather disappointed with this book. There are only about 40 recipes and, for me, there just wasn't anything really new or exciting. Each recipe comes with a picture of the finished dish which some people may find useful. The book is padded out with lots of photos of e.g. markets, shops, etc which did nothing for me as there wasn't enough narrative to make this one of those travel/food books that I can happily spend an evening leafing through without actually needing to cook. Perhaps I am spoilt (I have more than 350 cookery books) but I didn't feel that the book was either interesting or good value for money. I didn't return it but I haven't used it either. If I want to cook middle eastern food I invariably find myself using one of Claudia Roden's books or Arto der Haroutunian.

To be honest I expected a few more distinct recipes. Its a nicely presented book but a rather ecletic mix of home cooking -average

Have bought this book not knowing much about the cookings traditions of these regions, the book was well written, clear and easy to follow, by an obviously passionate person who cares about the food she is writing about, ingredients easy to get hold of, results sensational, well worth a look
