Persian Cooking for a Healthy Kitchen

Rating:
Summary: Delicious, Beautiful, Low Carb, Low Fat and Persian
Review: Although I grew up in Bagh-e Ferdows in north Tehran and Gholam-Ali khan was a great cook, I never knew that Persian cooking had so many wonderful, low-carb, low-fat recipes for fish and kababs. This book is also full of regional recipes that have not been so delicately, and temptingly presented since the Safavids ruled Iran--and the recipes are healthy to boot. A must-have-book for every cook who is looking for new ideas and wants to eat healthy at the same time.

Summary: This Book is A MUST in every cultured kitchen.
Review: I bought this book a year ago and have spent the past year perfecting my Persian cooking skills. With out Najmieh Batmanglij's wonderful book I'd be lost. The book is exquisite and replete with photographs, and wonderfully yummy recepies. I reccomend this book to anyone--especially anyone who loves cooking. Ms. Batmanglij is truly a master chef as well as master artist. I will buy her books for everyone in my family I reccomend you do the same.

Summary: Not as good as...
Review: I bought this book after falling in love with the author's other book "New Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies". However, compared to that, this book is hopeless. I suggest you purchase the above book instead of this one.. has a lot more receipes, ceremonies, etc.

Summary: This is a GREAT introduction to heathy Persian cooking
Review: When I moved to San Jose I was exposed to Persian cuisine for the fist time in my life and fell in love.

Najmieh K. Batmanglij has provided me, in this book, a great introduction to cooking the type of food I love while at same time respecting my healthy attitudes towards cooking.

This is a great cook book.
