Just like Situ used to make.
Sundays we always gathered at Situ's (grandmother's) with all nine of my mother's brothers and sisters; their husbands and wives and all of our cousins. How we all fit I can not remember. The aromas, the food, the family. Such wonderful memories. Recipies were not written down. It was a handful of this, soak in this...maybe because my grandmother could not read or write in English. Now we have the closest thing I have ever found and I bought enough to share with my family. What a wonderful surprise. My mother is 82 and does not cook as often but enjoys reading the recipes for the joy of the memories. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Lots of recipes but no pictures!!!
I bought this book as a present. I am middle eastern and my friend loves to cook our food. There were lots of great recipes in there but no pictures! When you click on the "Look inside", it makes it seem that there are pictures in the book that go along with the recipes but that is not the case. There are a few unrelated pictures but unfortunetly none that go along with the recipes. That would be fine for me because I know what the food is supposed to look like. However, if you are someone who'd rather see what the food is supposed to look like or wants to cook a food you've tried in a restaurant and need to identify it by picture before making it, this book is not for you.
disappointed
this is my second lebanese cookbook purchase. I purchased this one on the basis that included a variety of recipes. But what left me disappointed was that the recipes/directions were not complete or as detailed as needed to be. Quick written, unreviewed.
