Good Theme
Congratulation for your book, but the title is too general because arabiccooking is not the samefrom North Africa to Persic Golf. In North Africawhich is an Arabic continent Some of this country (Algeria, Morocco, Tunes,Libia) rice is not part of daily foodbut in Libano, Siria, irak... it 'slike bread for them.In North Africa they eat CUSCUS, in Lebano, siria,egipt... they do not eat it daily or is not a traditional food. I am onlyclearing up some word "arabic" but I congratulate you.

Product Description
A cookbook of traditional recipes from Iraq and other neighboring countries.It pleases me to introduce you to the tasty and joyful experience of Middle Eastern cooking. The history, location, and fertility of the land of Mesopotamia (currently Iraq) encouraged the creation of a tremendous variety of dishes. Some are distinctive to that region while others are imported from all around the area and parts of Europe. Middle Eastern dishes are delightfully aromatic and full of flavor and texture. The spices used in each dish add a distinctive taste that can be matched by no other. Each dish is a symphony of goodness: protein, fiber, vitamins, and taste. Go ahead – cook a Middle Eastern meal. Enjoy yourself, excite your senses, and do it in good health.

Product Description
A Taste of Arabia has been honored with a Gold award in the Best Arab Cuisine Cookbook in the World category. Jessie Kirkness Parker is a leading expert on Gulf Cuisine having worked in the area for many years as a food editor, food stylist for film and TV, and now as a consultant in food styling and flavor.
The prestigious Gourmand World Cookbook Awards took place in Paris on 1st July 2009, at a glittering award ceremony at La Comedie Francaise, near the Louvre. Thousands of books were submitted by publishers and after international scrutiny, three finalists were chosen in each category.
'I am passionate about the flavors of regional recipes so I am deeply honored to win a Gold award for A Taste of Arabia,' says Jessie.
At the recent Abu Dhabi Book Fair, Kitab, Jessie felt humbled when she was embraced by many of the local ladies with compliments like 'thank you for understanding and appreciating our food and culture so well', 'You can talk for us'; 'tell the world about our food and culture'; and 'it's delicious, you make it like we make it in our homes'.
A Taste of Arabia is a unique publication: compact and inexpensive but luxurious, combining practical recipes of the region with beautiful, expansive photography - a personal story of recipes which offer an understanding of the cultural background of the region. This bestselling title is the perfect gift for tourists to take home, practical for home cooking and for lovers of cooking - its triple tested recipes work - and a memorable keepsake of living in Arabia.
Jessie also designed and food styled A Taste of Arabia with pages that have great richness, and an eye for detail. Additional photographs, which are a record of the Parkers' many years in the UAE, are the perfect complement to the food photography which make even the page look edible! ... Read more

Product Description
Al-Baghdadi's Kitab al-Tabikh was for long the only medieval Arabic Cookery book known to the English-speaking world, thanks to A.J Arberry's path-breaking 1939 translation as `A Baghdad Cookery Book' which was re-issued by Prospect Books in 2001 in Medieval Arab Cookery. For centuries, it has been the favourite Arab cookery book of the Turks. The original manuscript is still in Istanbul, and at some point a Turkish sultan commissioned a very handsome copy which can still be seen in The British Library in London. In the twentieth century the Iraqui scholar, Daoud Chelebi, produced a modern transcription which served as the basis for Arberry's translation. Charles Perry has re-visited the manuscript and discovered many possible errors and amendments that affect the interpretation of these essential recipes for the understanding of medieval Arab cookery. He has produced a new English translation incorporating these ammendments and fully annotating his variations with the 'authorised' version. Scholars will now have a definitive text on which to work. They will also have this text in an inexpensive and handy format, just the thing for a learned lady's handbag. ... Read more

THE BEST FOOD EVER
Finally, A Baghdad Cookery Book returns, rewritten clearly and with a human touch.
This is a vital book on Middle East cooking. My mother says that
Middle Eastern food is the best food ever.She's ninety-six.
She is never without cracked wheat, olive oil, figs and dates, tabouli (a finely chopped salad), etc.
The book is the work of two geniuses, and I'm grateful to have this book in my kitchen,
along with the unrelated, but important books by
Paul Blange, Paul Prudhomme and Emeril LaGasse.

Eat, eat, the best food ever.

A demonstration of appliaed erudition
A welcome new edition of a fundamental book on classical Arab cooking. A good demonstration on how to go about reviewing and remaking a book that had already been accepted as a reference. Good read for the text and for the method.

Cuisine Fit for a Caliph
This new translation by Charles Perry is a great improvement over A.J. Arberry's once-novel, now-dated 1930s translation of this legendary 13th century cookbook, which served the kitchens of the wealthy and powerful of the Near and Middle East for well over 300 years.

True, the writing style of these recipes is not like that familiar to most 21st C. Americans, with the exact quantity of every ingredient and every step of the process enumerated. However, the writing style is not much different from cookbooks written in other languages even today, such as those I purchased when I lived in Indonesia. And the recipes are quite useable by the adventurous cook. I've been cooking using al-Baghdadi's cookbook, in one form or another, for about 9 years. I am very happy to have it now in this convenient paperback format.

For those not accustomed to using these sorts of recipes, it may take a bit of courage and several experiments. But I'm sure that once you play with them a few times, you will find yourself rewarded by the opportunity to dine like a Caliph.

For those more cautious, but interested in the history of cookbooks, in the history of cuisines in general, and in Middle Eastern cuisines in particular, even if you don't cook from these recipes, this over 700 year old cookbook will be a fascinating study in the dining of the past.

Highly recommended for ancient food recreationists
A friend of mine has this book. I am going to buy it. It is very useful for ancient/medieval SCA recreationists.

A good book for historians, not for actual cooks.
This book does not contain traditional recipies with contemporary measurements and ingredients. It works better as a historical reference of how cooking was done centuries ago. An interesting read for those seeking knowledge of old times, but unless your actually cook over an open flame with kindling for three fourths of the night, not too helpful for a modern cook. ...
