Title: Not Mongolian cooking at all
Review: When I ordered this book, I understood that the cooking had something to do with the Mongol empire. I thought maybe these were recipes that were developed and written down by Chinese cooks during the period when the Mongolians sat on the jade throne. But no! This book is only a collection of recipes from countries that used to be in the Mongol empire. In other words, since the Mongols controlled most of the Eurasian land mass, this book is simply a collection of random recipes from across Asia. It could be called "Asian Cooking" rather than "Imperial Mongolian Cooking." There is no other theme I could discern like "Genghis' favorite soups." Moreover, the book is small and bound in a way that does not make it easily used in a kitchen. Very disappointed with this purchase.
