New Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies

Rating:
Summary: This is it!
Review: This is the only Persian cookbook you will ever need. It has every imaginable Persian recipe, it is laid out clearly and easy to follow with beautiful photographs. Some of the recipes are very elaborate but after having done them a few times they become easy and quicker to make. A great book for everybody who loves to cook. Both, children of Persians who grew up outside of Iran and don't know how to cook the food their moms cooked for them as well as just people who enjoy good, rich food will really appreciate this book.

Summary: This book is the bible of Persian cooking!
Review: When my aunt decided it was time that I learned to cook persian food (I am half-Persian and all american :-)), she sent me out to buy this book. The carefully she would mark the recipes with special changes she had made herself over the years. Most receipes remained unchanged. Even my beoved aunt couldn't improve on this. My cousin, when he proposed to his opera-singer wife, presented her with a copy of this book and a diamond engagement ring tied ot the ribbon pagemarker.
Today I ordered one for my sister, a pediatrician in Nashville. It's time we passed down the recipes to her. :-)
These reciped are so good and so easy, you'll claim they are longtime family recipes kept secret over the generations...a little white lie I doubt the author would mind. :-)

enjoy!
