Title: Don't bother
Product review: Here is the only plus of the recipe book - the illustrations. They is excellent artworks all done in pencil (black, white and greys) but printed on poor paper that makes the black run distorting the pictures.The book tries to give a sample of a few recipes from too many countries and winds up not doing justice to any. She covers Israel, Persia, Turkey, The Fertile Crescent, Armenai, and North of the Sahara in only 136 pages.Some of the ingredients are way too exotic or unusual for a standard American pantry such as tongue and pineapple pate, Moroccan brains, etc. These do not even sound appetizing. There were a few interesting dishes for soup and lamb.The information on the different countries is interesting but there is not enough of any one country.I suggest you discover a Middle Eastern country you are interested in and buy a cookbook specializing on that country alone.I will tear out a few pages in this book and throw the rest away.
