 Gorgeous May 23, 2008
Another great book by Claudia Roden. Lovely recipes, easy to follow. A great complement to The Book of Jewish Food.
Could improve layout but not recipes July 13, 2007

The book is split into sections by country, which I think can make it difficult to navigate - if you want to cook a main course with lamb you have to look in each of the three different country chapters to see all the recipes. But the recipes themselves (which is after all the most important thing) are wonderful - inspiring, clear, manageable and delicious, so with a different layout and perhaps a list of mail order suppliers, this could be perfect.

This book leads like a dream.The only difficult bit is actually putting it down to cook the recipes. If you are interested in foods from these regions then start with this book and it will fuel your imagination.
 Lovely recipes but not enough photos January 18, 2007

Nothing annoys me more than recipe books that don't have lots of photos! I like to try new things all the time and the photos help me know what I'm trying to achieve and also give me ideas when I'm browsing for menus for having guests over etc. The recipes I've tried in this book are fabulous though.
A good guide to authentic turkish cooking... November 25, 2006
53 out of 58 found this review helpful
To address the comments of the misinformed "REAL WORLD COOK" - Of the two examples mentioned, sumac is an everyday ingredient in Turkish cooking, typically used in salads. And "gum mastic" ice cream is again a very popular desert and such "sakizli" (gum-based) ice creams are a norm. Further rose water has many every day applications in turkish cooking, and rose ice cream is a perfectly common widespread flavour. These are versatile ingredients found in the cupboards and spice racks of all Turkish homes much as you might find rosemary and thyme in yours. A commendable effort and highly recommended book reflecting authentic Turkish cooking. I can only assume the same can be said of the Morrocan and Lebanese sections.
