Summary: if you like Middle-eastern cuisine, BUY THIS BOOK NOW
Review: Among the several middle-eastern cuisine books I have bought, this book still ranks first for me. Soheila Kimberley has obviously a deep knowledge of Persian cooking, but also has a number of very interesting recipes from other parts of the Middle-east, all the way to Morocco. I had been looking for the Omm Ali (Egyptian bread pudding) for a long time. Finally, I got it in this book. Just looking at the pictures makes me hungry. Most of the recipes are written in 4 to 6 clear steps that will transform you in a Middle-Eastern Chef in no time. If you love Middle-Eastern food as much as I do, you won't regret buying this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wish I Found it Sooner
Review: I love Middle Eastern food, in general, but I am sometimes disappointed when one place's hummous is not as good as another...or the variyng qualities of bab ghanoush available at restaurants. This book has the best recipes for every dish that I am familiar witha nd introduced me to new dishes that have become new favorites for me as welll. I particularly like the fish baked in tahini, which I've not seen at any restuarnat. Unfortunately, I recently moved to a region of the south US that sorely lacks Middle Eastern eatries, but this book has been a life saver.

The instricutions are simple and easy to follow, and the ingredients are well explained and usually acessible even where I live now. There are picutres to give a better idea about foods that may initially be unfamilar to you. I wish that the book included a few more vegetarian alternatives, but in general, am so happy with the product, that my only genuine complaint is aimed at myself - for not having bought the book earlier.
