Title: So great I bought a second copy
Review: Since my first review of this book, I have served many of the recipes at parties and gatherings. EVERYONE loved the food and clamored for the recipes. All were super easy to make, flavorful, and visually stunning. I just purchased a copy to gift. (Recipes served were Muhamara, tomato pomegranate salsa, marinated chickpeas, hummus).

Title: Mostly Egyptian recipes, vibrant food photos
Review: I think a sign of a good cookbook is if when you are looking thru it you immediately see a ton of recipes you want to make. To me this book falls into that category. You can't help but notice the vibrant eye catching colorful photos. I enjoyed reading the authors touching tribute to her father and the positive influence he had on her in regards to learning how to cook. I have made about 5 or so recipes from this book but will definitely try more. The first I had to try was the frothy mint limonada. Let me tell you that drink was amazing. It was so refreshing that I try to make it several times a week. The roasted bell pepper boats were delicious. The combo of the orzo, peppers and basil vinaigrette was one of the healthiest lunches I ever made. My father who is from Italy gobbled it up. And I can't forget that glorious orange cardamom olive oil cake. It was so good. Thanks to her wonderful easy to follow directions it came out perfect and I am not a good baker. The reason I did not give this book 5 stars is many of the recipes appear to be time consuming, some you need to make 2 other recipes to complete the recipe you are making. If you are not a fan of cooking with olive oil, mint, or looking to purchase middle eastern spices this book might not work for you. Many of the recipes I would never make like lobster, etc. It would have been nice to see more Italian, Greek recipes. It seems to be mostly Egyptian dishes. There is no nutritional content and not every recipe has a photo. I really do like this cook book though and it will challenge me in the kitchen.

Review: I’m a chef & I have an extensive collection of cookbooks. I have never found a cookbook that has so many great recipes in it. I’ve made about 8 or 9 recipes from this book so far & every one of them has been really delicious. They’re simple, healthy & loaded with tremendous flavour. I highly recommend this book.
