This is now one of my favorite cookbooks, thanks to someone sending me xeroxed pages on TOBB. So I reviewed it: http://www.fuzzychef.org/archives/The-A ... -2010.html You want this book. |

I'm glad to read a postive review of this book. I looked at it, but some of the reviews weren't good. I always hate to discount a book, because you don't know about the reviewer. I worked in the "awl bidness" and we had many engineers and others from Saudi and the Middle East. They always brought the best lunches, and feasts. The first time I had lamb was at an Algerian wedding; it was a whole lamb roasted on a spit all night. We were issued a plate and a knife, and we filed past, cut off what we wanted of the meat, and then the fruit vegetables yoghurt were laid out buffet style. It was soooooooo good. |

Kss, I can see that an inexperienced cook, or one unused to the unusual tastes of "real" arab food, might be put off by the cookbook. You should enjoy it. |

Fuzzy, you have led me to SIN! I just (finally) got my copy of this book from BookCloseouts.com, for $14 plus shipping, and I think I'm seriously in love!!! This is a book that I think I might want to "cook through" just go through and cook everything, although there may be some objections from the others. I love the different spice mixes, I'm starting to work on that tomorrow. This is gonna be fun! |

KSS, As a warning, most of her recipes are "large family" portions. I made the mistake of making a double recipe of the zucchini dip and ended up with a half-gallon of it. |

Thanks for the "heads up." I suspect that's just the way, though. We had a single SA engineer, and he was always bringing food for everyone. I suspect they make enough to share. |
