Middle Eastern Cookery

this book is a remarkable product of great illustrations and well written, most interesting recipies. I always try to find a good copy as a gift !!

OK, I admit. I'm biased. I illustrated the book and appended some annotations to the artworks. Still, I have prepared dishes from the book and have had the pleasure of eating many others. How to review a cookbook? Well, the recipes produce wonderful meals and the illustrations are SUPERB; not your typical halved heads of red cabbage, but imaginative culturally related imagery. I took some pains in researching my chosen images and I think any home kitchen chef will be able to appreciate the additional dimension contributed by the illustrations.
