Product Description
From Booklist
Healthful variations have been developed by Batmanglij for nearly 100 traditional Persian dishes, providing low-fat substitutions for such ingredients as butter. The book is a feast for the eyes and an inspiring invitation to sample Persian cuisine, with full-page color photographs illustrating the recipes and a French flair enlivening their presentation. Among beguiling combinations of spices and herbs, saffron is often the dominant flavor--in a dessert pudding as well as in many specialties, such as eggplant kuku, baked lamb, and sweet and sour stuffed quail with rose petals (an exotic-sounding ingredient that is easy to obtain these days in many markets). Easy-to-follow instructions make this a fine introduction to Persian cooking. Alice Joyce

Delicious, Beautiful, Low Carb, Low Fat and Persian,
By A Customer
This review is from: Persian Cooking for a Healthy Kitchen (Paperback)
Although I grew up in Bagh-e Ferdows in north Tehran and Gholam-Ali khan was a great cook, I never knew that Persian cooking had so many wonderful, low-carb, low-fat recipes for fish and kababs. This book is also full of regional recipes that have not been so delicately, and temptingly presented since the Safavids ruled Iran--and the recipes are healthy to boot. A must-have-book for every cook who is looking for new ideas and wants to eat healthy at the same time.

I bought this book after falling in love with the author's other book "New Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies". However, compared to that, this book is hopeless. I suggest you purchase the above book instead of this one.. has a lot more receipes, ceremonies, etc.

Kind of a rip off...,
By Karenita Cha Cha "Vieno66" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Persian Cooking for a Healthy Kitchen (Paperback)
This book is virtually the same as "New Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies " (which I LOVE)...what you're paying for here are the same recipes only with lowfat yogurt, less oil and things that I feel we could have figured out on our own...to cut fat.I'll be returning my copy...but again, "New Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies " is fantastic!!! |
