In a Persian Kitchen: Favorite Recipes from the Near East Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
