(More customer reviews)For many years I enjoyed lunch and some dinners at a wonderful Armenian Restaurant. The restaurant went out of business because the proprietor, due to health issues, could no longer sustain the business.
I always wondered how I could obtain some of the terrific dishes that were served there.....cheese beoreg, lamb shank, tulumba and so many more. Now I know. The mystery is solved with this marvelous book filled with easy-to-read directions for assembling delicious dinners. And not just Armenian dishes. This book provides many international recipes for dishes that will surely delight both you and your guests. Try it...you will really like it!

If your everyday efforts in baking and cooking have not gotten you the raves you would like to hear, perhaps this book will be of help to you. In Come Into My Kitchen, this first-time writer, Dorothy Ajdaharian-Arakelian includes her all-time favorite Armenian and International recipes, inspired by her families' needs and her gastronomic taste buds. The author's Armenian upbringing and pride in her heritage enables her to write about old-world Armenian recipes that were handed down from her Mother, along with International favorite recipes she has accumulated over the years. An interesting feature that makes this book different from a standard cookbook is that the writer has strived to separate the Armenian recipes from the International, thus, enabling the reader to conveniently choose from a variety of cuisines at a glance. The author's introduction and step-by-step methods for preparing dough from scratch and various labor-intensive appetizers and entrees should prove to be fun and accessible, even for the non-expert. From suggested guides for an elegant dinner party for four or forty, to simple short-cuts for make-ahead and one-pot meals for the busy homemaker who has to balance a career. Dorothy has shared that it took many years to transform her second nature knowledge of recipes, ingredients and processes into easy-to-follow instructions for others to understand. As with all good processes, nothing is exact and Dorothy encourages her readers to experiment with seasonings and flavors to extend the recipes in her book to each individuals' personal preference. Come Into My Kitchen will allow the novice cook or seasoned homemaker to have a wealth of information at his or her fingertips. "Enjoy"
