Title: Concise, practical and with family/regionally-specific authenticity
Product review: My wife and I have bought, read, collected, and used hundreds of recepies from tens of cookbooks; among the few hundred cookbooks we own, there are about half a dozen on Iranian and Persian cooking; and, perhaps a dozen about and on Middle Eastern cooking. This book alone stands among the best of them (since its first publication in 1960), even with very few illustrations, and under 200 pages, it still delivers its message and concise content very well indeed. Obviously as with any cookbook, what is "authentic" to one region/family, may not appear authentic to another family or regional variations and styles (be it the addition/deletion or amounts of certain ingredients). I have even given it as a gift many times!
