A good resource for middle-eastern cooking (for vegetarians and non-vegetarians too)

As a vegetarian I prefer dishes that are already vegetarian to begin with, rather than having to modify recipes (it doesn't always work out that well), so this book is going to be a staple in my cookbook repertoire. I would highly recommend this to those who love middle-eastern food. The book...

Quite Pleased!

This is a great cookbook. The recipes are all pretty simple - one thing I like (haven't tried it yet but I will) is that there are even some hand drawn pictures on how to do stuffed grape leaves. I do wish there were some more "stories" with the recipes. I enjoy getting to read about the foods...

overall good

I cooked more than 20 recipes from this book and most of them turned well. If you want novel tasting vegetarian recipes buy this book. However if you do not like garlic + olive oil + lemon + salt dressing stay away. The instructions are sometimes incomplete and there are lots of duplicate...

Wonderful Lebanese cookbook!

Lebanese are known to be very particular about their food. My husband is no exception. He has been thrilled with the food I've prepared using recipes in this book. I'm thrilled, too, because I'm trying to please the family palate and reduce the meat in our diet. I have several other Lebanese...

Review by Mazen I. Abbas, MPH

Public health practitioners have for many years advocated a well-balanced diet with proper servings of fruits, pasta, vegetables, etc. Most of the time, the public is not given any information on good tasting healthful meals. Dr. Abbas and Mrs. Holmin deliver a well-thought out book that has a...
