Reader Reviews:
It is a Bible of Persian Cooking (0/0 people found this helpful)
If you do not have any books about Persian Cooking, this is the one to start. I would not say all recipies in this book are easy, but not diffcult. Some spicies might be diffcult for you to find, however, many inrternet shops can help you. (My favourate recipie is 'Aubergine and Lam Stew'.) Unfortunately, it is a quite expensive book.
Excellent (5/5 people found this helpful)
This book not only contains some great, authentic, recipes, but is also a very good read; illuminating the history of an ancient and very distinctive cuisine. Be warned though, alot of Persian dishes are incredibly time consuming and require a great deal of practice!

i found this book a very interesting read and the food was absolutly delicious (my bieng modest!)the simplist food actually seemed the most complex.
All in all a great read and i would recommend it to anyone who is into foreign food...
Authentic & Delicious Recipes ! (20/21 people found this helpful)
My Iranian husband and father-in were impressed by my 'innate' Iranian cooking skills... little did they know that it was the miracle of Ms Shaida's book that gave me these powers. The book is a joy to read and produces dishes that are a joy to eat. Authentic recipes and lovely stories... an ideal book for anyone who loves to cook and eat delicious, delicately flavoured, healthy and very interesting dishes from the wonderful Iranian cooking heritage.
Great Introduction to an ancient and sophisticated cuisine (11/12 people found this helpful)
Ms. Shaida's book captures the complexity of the relationship that Iranians have with their cuisine. Great background information and easy to follow recipes make this a must-have for any lover of cooking and food.
