The Sephardic Table : The Vibrant Cooking of the Mediterranean Jews

Rating:
Summary: decent but not excellent
Review: I thought the recipes were too simple and ignored major ingridients that are used in sephardic cooking. The only advantage is very few ingridents, so it is easy to shop. Disadvantage: the taste suffers and isn't aromatic enough.

Summary: Wonderful Recipes!
Review: My personal favorites are the Mezze (Appetizers) and the Indian Cardamom Chicken, which is a delight. Many Sephardic recipes are complicated and/or time-consuming to prepare, but Mrs. Twena's are easy to follow and fairly quick too. The spice combinations are intriguing and there are many delicious vegetarian dishes. She also has helpful menus and a basic explanation of the Jewish holidays in the back.

Summary: Recommended by our daughter
Review: Our daughter purchased this book at a book sale. She enthusiastically read several recipes to me. I purchased copies of the book for myself as well as for several friends. There are many tasty comfort foods such as, 'Baked Fish and Chickpeas'. Every section of this book has recipes I want to try. A winning cookbook among the 100 or more I have collected.

Summary: Delicious recipes without complications
Review: This is the first cookbook I reach for when planning a meal for Shabbat. The flavors are interesting and varied, and even similar sounding recipes often turn out quite different from one another. Good salads and great chicken.
