Perfectly authentic and well written,
By Amanda Howell (Lancaster, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Helen Corey's Food from Biblical Lands: A Culinary Trip to the Land of Bible History (Paperback)
Each recipe is explained in detail and if an ingredient is uncommon she explains where to get it and what it is. She writes the recipes so that the end result turns out wonderfully. I grew up eating this food in Canton, OH and her recipes taste just the way the old Syrians would have prepared it. I was so happy to find a cookbook so true to the old world style. There are meat recipes as well as vegetable based cuisine, desserts, and even how to make the old Syrian cheese usually served with breakfast. It is a concise, great book and I wish more people knew how to prepare meals like this.

A Bit of the Past,
By Rose Johnson Nasser (Cairo, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Helen Corey's Food from Biblical Lands: A Culinary Trip to the Land of Bible History (Paperback)
Helen Corey's cookbook and video, really takes one on a journey to the Holy Land. Oh, how my Mother and Father would have loved them. The cookbook, Food from Biblical Lands, and video, The Art of Syrian & Lebanese Cooking, brings back many loving memories of my Mother cooking Syrian foods. We were blessed with her until she was 91 years old, and she did most of the Syrian cooking while she was alive. I have tried to remember her different recipes, and with Helen's cookbook and video it helps bring it to life. It is as though Mother has returned to remind me what to put into each recipe. It is a precious bit of the past, here in the present. Thank you Helen for this wonderful gift. Keep up the good work.

Perfect for All Cooks,

This review is from: Helen Corey's Food from Biblical Lands: A Culinary Trip to the Land of Bible History (Paperback)
This cookbook offers a wonderful introduction to Syrian and Lebanese cooking. Wonderful index and cross-reference help the beginner feel comfortable with the new terms and cooking ingredients. Helen Corey's book is more than just a cookbook however; she offers insight to the heritage of the foods and the traditions these regions bring to International cooking. I recommend this book to all cooks; whether they are already familiar with these foods and cooking style or are just beginning to branch out from their our family's favorites. Ms. Corey has provided a feast a great recipes and photos that will stir up an appetite in anyone.
