Review
"A 4000 year-old cuisine adapted and updated for today's low-fat, high-flavor demands...Each dish is lavishly presented in striking photographs."
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Persian cuisine is exotic yet simple like a poem by Omar Khayyam, healthy yet colourful like a Persian miniature painting. It combines rice, the jewel and foundation of Persian cooking, with a little meat, fowl or fish; plenty of onion, garlic, vegetables, fruit, nuts, herbs; and, a delicate, uniquely Persian mix of spices such as rose petals, angelica seeds, dried limes, candied orange peels, cinnamon, cardamom, cumin and saffron to achieve a delicious and balanced diet. Drawing on her 15 years of experience collecting and adapting authentic Persian recipes, and inspired by her years in Southern France and the United States, Najmieh Batmanglij has brought about a marriage of ancient Persian cooking, French Provencal food presentation, and contemporary American eating styles. The result is this book featuring 95 exquisite kitchen-tested recipes that are low in fat yet high in flavour - a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds - that meet the current health goals of limiting the calories from saturated fats. The recipes have been kitchen tested by both American and Persian chefs. They are intelligently written and easy to follow, one per page, each facing a magnificent photograph by the renowned French photographer, Serge Ephrahim.

Delicious, Beautiful, Low Carb, Low Fat and Persian
21 May 2003
Format:Paperback
Although I grew up in Bagh-e Ferdows in north Tehran and Gholam-Ali khan was a great cook, I never knew that Persian cooking had so many wonderful, low-carb, low-fat recipes for fish and kababs. This book is also full of regional recipes that have not been so delicately, and temptingly presented since the Safavids ruled Iran--and the recipes are healthy to boot. A must-have-book for every cook who is looking for new ideas and wants to eat healthy at the same time.

This is a GREAT introduction to heathy Persian cooking
10 Nov 2000
Format:Hardcover
When I moved to San Jose I was exposed to Persian cuisine for the fist time in my life and fell in love.
Najmieh K. Batmanglij has provided me, in this book, a great introduction to cooking the type of food I love while at same time respecting my healthy attitudes towards cooking.
This is a great cook book.

Kind of a rip off...
8 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
This book is virtually the same as "New Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies " (which I LOVE)...what you're paying for here are the same recipes only with lowfat yogurt, less oil and things that I feel we could have figured out on our own...to cut fat.
I'll be returning my copy...but again, "New Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies " is fantastic!!!
