Product Description

Product Description

A historical crossroads in Central Asia, Uzbekistan and its cuisine reflect the range of nationalities that form the country and continue to flourish there. Meat pies from India, soups and cakes from Russia, and noodles from China coexist with varied spices, dried fruits and nuts, and traditional golden flat breads. The Art of Uzbek Cooking provides an introduction to a little-known and exciting culture through easy-to-follow recipes that have been tested and adapted for American kitchens.

This collection of some 175 authentic Uzbek recipes includes chapters on Appetizers & Salads; Soups; Meat, Poultry, and Fish; Plovs; Stuffed Pastries, Dumplings, Pasta & Pancakes; Vegetables; Breads; Desserts; Drinks; and even Suggested Menus.

Wonderful, delicious recipes. 12 Dec 2001
By djonn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Growing up Bukharan in 1970's North America, I have had a difficult time explaining to people where I'm from etc. Thank goodness someone has finally taken an interest in and published a book about my favourite aspect of my culture . . . Food!

In terms of the actual recipes, this is a very good book. They all turn out as they should and are fairly authentic (which is rare in any cookbook). My only caveats have to do with the book iself:

1) It is poorly bound. My copy fell apart after about 2 months.
2) There are no photographs accompanying any of the recipes. This is a shame considering that most people are unfamiliar with this cuisine and wouldn't know how it's supposed to turn out or what the ideal presentation should be.
3) The index (is bad). It's basically the table of contents but in alphabetical order. If you're looking for, say, all recipes with mung beans, you will have to search through the entire book to find them.

However, after all this I still urge you to buy this book. Why? Because the recipes are easy to follow, nutritious, filling and delicious. (And of course, exotic.) Also, if you're interested in the history of this fabled land of the Silk Road, you'll find this a well written & researched book that you could curl up with as well as cook from.
Solomat!
Thank you, Lynn Visson.

This is a delightful introduction to an exotic cuisine 18 Feb 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Uzbek cooking may be unfamiliar to many Americans, but it is simple to prepare, exotically spicy, and healthy to boot. This cookbook gives an excellent introduction to Uzbek cuisine through recipes that emphasize basic techniques of Uzbek cooking, such as pilafs, soups, dumplings, etc. I have not been disappointed with one recipe from this book. My only complaint is that the cookbook was too short!

Fabulous recipes - book binding terrible 25 Oct 2002
By KS - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I found this book wonderful for two reasons - exotic yet undaunting recipes (delicious!); plus the fascinating background cultural information. I agree with the other readers - Hippocrene did a terrible job with the binding - cheap and falling apart! Nevertheless I strongly recommend this book - it is a culinary and cultural masterpiece regarding a cuisine little known in North America. Lynn Visson - Great Job!

If there are no mung beans, lentils can be substituted, but reduce the quantity by about one-third. &quote;
