Review:

If you are ready for a wonderful taste trip, open this cookbook to any page. Ethnic cuisine from the Middle east and North Africa are awaiting your pleasure and have been carefully adapted to a western kitchen. The familiar food is prepared in a great new way, like Fried Cucumbers, Fez Carrots, or Potato Croquettes. Super new chicken, fish and meat recipes to tease your palate abound in this book, like Meat Stew with Olives and Peppers, Fish Kabob, Basteela, or even Eggs in Mint Yogurt Sauce. Reading some of the reasons certain foods are used in some countries was educational and very entertaining. Lists are supplied for the herbs, spices, and equipment used, along with appropriate substitutions. In the back of the book are sources of special foods. Three hundred recipes, that if you love flavor, are going to be the best addition to your cookbook shelf. -- From Independent Publisher
