Just a short trip to Persia....
Blurb:
Though the countries in
the Persian culinary region are home to diverse religions, cultures,
languages, and politics, they are linked by beguiling food traditions
and a love for the fresh and the tart. Color and spark come from ripe
red pomegranates, golden saffron threads, and the fresh herbs served at
every meal. Grilled kebabs, barbari breads, pilafs, and brightly colored
condiments are everyday fare, as are rich soup-stews called ash and
alluring sweets like rose water pudding and date-nut halvah.

Due to the political situation I read a lot about this part of the world lately and when I saw this cookbook on offer I was curious. I cook a lot and I always love to explore other countries' recipes - and the countries themselves as well.
This cook book is really amazing! It is a wonderful mixture of interesting and very promising looking recipes (I must admit that I haven't tried all of them yet) and informations about herbs and spices, customs and of course about the people living there.
The interesting articles that paint a vivid and insightful picture of the regions and those who live there, are illustrated by amazing photographs that show the beauty of the countries as well as the people but also the different dishes and ...everything else.
It is not only a book containing recipes but it is also a picture-book or some kind of coffee-table book that you just take in hand to browse and enjoy.
I really like this book and can definitely recommend it!
