Review #1

Concise, practical and with family/regionally-specific authenticity

My wife and I have bought, read, collected, and used hundreds of recepies from tens of cookbooks; among the few hundred cookbooks we own, there are about half a dozen on Iranian and Persian cooking; and, perhaps a dozen about and on Middle Eastern cooking. This book alone stands among the best of them (since its first publication in 1960), even with very few illustrations, and under 200 pages, it still delivers its message and concise content very well indeed. Obviously as with any cookbook, what is "authentic" to one region/family, may not appear authentic to another family or regional variations and styles (be it the addition/deletion or amounts of certain ingredients). I have even given it as a gift many times!




Review #2

One of my favorite cookbooks!

This is one of my favorite cookbooks. The recipes are just as they should be - traditional and easy to follow. The author also gives a little personal background or history of each recipes, which enables you to connect more with each dish. I think it is a very special book that everyone can cook with and enjoy tremendously!




Review #3

In a Persian Kitchen (Well Recommended Must Have)

I have owned this book for more than four or five years and find it invaluable. I am an Italian American and love to cook. There are striking similarities to Persian and Italian cusine. You will not be disappointed in this cookbook. very easy and very well done.
