5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on middle-eastern kitchen!, 12 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A New Book of Middle Eastern Food (Cookery Library) (Paperback)
I had one of the earlier editions of this book and it taught me how to cook. The new edition is even better than the previous. How is that possible? Maybe I have, with age, learned to appreciate culinary culture more than I used to.

I am a Turkish woman and most of the recepies Roden explains in her marvellous book are no strangers to me. I have ben living abroad now for many years. Every time I open Roden's book I can smell my grandmother's kitchen.

Here is a personal "thank you" to Claudia Roden from me. Maashallah, forty one times, as we say back home.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you buy one Middle Eastern cookery book..., 23 Nov 2002
This review is from: A New Book of Middle Eastern Food (Cookery Library) (Paperback)
...make it this one. The recipes easy to follow, and Roden's writing style is peppered with amusing anecdotes about her childhood in Egypt and historical information that make this book a good read outside the kitchen as well as in.

Whereas many Middle Eastern cookbooks leave out ingredients (presumably to make the dishes seem less scary to Western palates), Roden's recipes are authentic. Many include alternate suggestions and regional variations from family recipes submitted by her friends and readers from across the region, so chances are you'll always have the proper ingredients to hand.

I cook from this regularly, both for everyday meals and special occasions (the appetiser section has loads of dishes that are great for parties). Middle Eastern cooking seems to be designed to make expensive ingredients like meat go a long way, and (although they're not flagged as such) there's some great recipes here if you're on a tight budget.

In other words...absolutely essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of my cookbook collection (over 300 books!), 20 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A New Book of Middle Eastern Food (Cookery Library) (Paperback)
I bought the original edition many years ago, and I found it so useful and delightful to read that I bought the new one as soon as it came out. The author mixes folk tales with personal anecdotes, an outline of the origins of certain dishes and of course, a bounty of clear and wonderful recipes. Each one of them is the best I have ever found for the dish in question, well explained, and comes out perfect every time. Thanks to Mrs Roden I have opened a treasure chest, her book is a voyage of discovery of Middle Eastern food, tradition, way of life, folklore, etc. The sun shines on every page!
