Book Description

Publication Date: Mar 15 2007
The cuisine of the Middle East has always had its devotees, and eating at Lebanese, Syrian, Turkish or Greek restaurants has delighted many people in recent years. But relatively few have tackled these dishes in their own kitchens. Now, with The Complete Middle East Cookbook, anyone can produce delectable meals from the exotic worlds of Homer, Omar Khayyam and the Arabian Nights. Author Tess Mallos provides carefully tested recipes set out in easy-to-follow steps, with many of the dishes illustrated in eighty superb color photographs.

Including regional dishes from Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan, Cyprus and Kuwait, to name a few, this is the definitive book for anyone interested in Middle Eastern cooking.

Praise for the hardcover edition:
"Astonishing in its scope."-Craig Claiborne, The New York Times

"A tasteful tour of the Middle East. Each country is introduced with a short history, and descriptions are given of typical cooking methods and ingredients. The food is beautifully photographed, and recipes are easy to follow."School Library Journal

YA-A tasteful tour of the Middle East. Each country is introduced with a short history, and descriptions are given of typical cooking methods and ingredients. The food is beautifully photographed, and recipes are easy to follow. However, many include items found only in ethnic food markets and require some degree of expertise to prepare.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not first choice Feb 21 2009
By Kay - Published on Amazon.com
This was my first Arabic cookbook I bought while dating a Lebanese man. I found it very helpful and a great introduction into Arabic food. I have since married the Lebanese man and have now lived in the Middle East for 8 years and I still have my favorite recipes in this book. However, I have found From the Land of Figs and Olives (Habeeb Salloum & James P)eters) to have many more recipes I love to cook and serve proudly to our Lebanese friends. Another book that was great to understand the history of Lebanon/Syria and find some truely unique old-fashion foods is Recipes and Remembrances by Sonia Uvezian.

I don't regret buying this book but I think it is my second choice as I reach for The Land of Figs & Olives much more for not only Lebanese recipes but for Moroccan and Iraqi receipes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Covers Broad Range of Areas, LOTS of Recipes May 23 2007
By K. Kostiuk - Published on Amazon.com
This is a good cookbook and one I feel comfortable using for years to come. It's much more complete and has many more recipes than I anticipated. I like that it is broken up by country, although this is slightly confusing for the countries whose cuisines I know little about.

These are not recipes that you'll make quickly and for every night dinners (at least if you're like me, you won't), but it's an excellent resource for those more special dinners. It's a fun book to play around with when you want to do something different.

My husband and I love the flavors of the Middle East this book provides. After living in Central Asia for a few years, I've been trying for the past two years to recreate some of their dishes based on vague recipes friends gave me. This cookbook spelled out the recipes for me and enabled me to make some things taste "right" for the first time in years.

This is an excellent resource. It's well worth your money.

I've owned this cookbook for over 20 years but during a recent move I lost it. I was very excited to find it again on Amazon and I ordered it right away. I am a serious cook and my husband is from the Middle East, so I found this book absolutely invaluable. I'm especially happy with the glossary in the back of the book which explains specialized foods along with their Arabic names. Anyone with an interest in ethnic cooking will truly enjoy this well researched and beautifully presented cookbook. Hats off to Tess Mallos!
