5.0 out of 5 stars Great little recipe book, Jun 15 2001

By

Robyn Russell (Fairbanks, Alaska) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In A Persian Kitchen (Paperback)

Although the text is a little dated (the book was originally printed in 1972), the recipes are classic. They are also easy to understand and to replicate. My favorites: beets with sour cream, mint, & garlic (I use sliced, canned beets and its become a standby with me) and Khoreshe Portagal (Chicken with Oranges and Spinach). This book has also inspired me to cook more with fruit. I highly recommend this little book. You will use it over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Wait for a Persian!, Nov 3 2000

This review is from: In A Persian Kitchen (Paperback)

This is the book my mother bought after my family visited Iran in 1972. We've been using it non-stop ever since. The recipes are easy and wonderful The Nane Shirini - persian sugar cookies surprise and delight everyone who has tried them. Chelo is not as hard as it seems, it just takes some attention and careful following of the directions. Most ingredients are standard American stock - no needing to find a specialty store. It's the ways of combining them that make the recipes so different from the same old thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love a Persian Kitchen, Jan 17 2001

By

VietMom (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In A Persian Kitchen (Paperback)

Though a new cook, I'd already grown tired of boring chicken dishes & pastas and wanted to try something new. I can't believe how tasty the recipes are in this book. When my dinner companion and I sat down to eat the Chicken in Pomegranate Sauce (chosen because the author said it was her favorite), we actually started laughing. It was so tasty it actually made us silly and we giggled while we ate (maybe because we couldn't believe I had produced this gem). I'm going to try the meatballs next. What an incredible book.
