Product Description

Review
"A cookbook by Paula Wolfert is cause for celebration. Ms. Wolfert may be America's most knowledgeable food person and her books are full of insight, passion and brilliance." -- Anthony Dias Blue, CBS Radio, NY"I think she's one of the finest and most influential food writers in this country. Her recipes are done with incredible accuracy. She brings a sense of wonder to matters of taste. She also has an uncommonly fine palate. In sum, Paula is one of the leading lights in contemporary gastronomy." -- Craig Claiborne"Ms. Wolfert does not just writer recipes; she writes about the recipes, and about the food, and about the people who make the food." -- Trish Hall, "New York Times"

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite cookbook, 16 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This is the most exciting cookbook I have discovered. It is not only entertaining and inspirational to read but every dish has a depth and intensity of flavour which excites not only my family but every guest who has sampled it. My reputation as a cook has been enhanced and my enthusiasm for trying new recipes regularly is never diminished. The research that has gone into this book and love for the people who have introduced her to their recipes is apparent on every page.Some of the dishes take time to prepare but many can be made in advance and are great for entertaining small or large crowds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, 19 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I cannot agree with previous reviewer. This is the very best cookbook on this area on the market today. Great recipes and memorable prose. Author makes these cuisines come alive! This book won both the Julia Child and the James Beard awards...and both prizes were well reserved!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the amateur (or even experienced) cook, 18 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This cookbook does not give the reader/cook a chance to learn the basic techniques and tastes of the cuisine, but concentrates on particular recipes with lists of ingredients so esoteric that even when I was living in the eastern Mediterranean I was unable to prepare them. And because this is such a recipe-particular rather than general taste-and-technique cookbook, it is difficult to be flexible with the recipes in terms of substitution. This is a cookbook for the purist and not for the practical cook.
