Review: i really like this book. i was introduced to persian cooking by iranian friends and have been cooking it for more than ten years. persian cooking is incredibly delicious, with inspired parings of ingredients.

the history in this book is fascinating, and, since i do a lot of indian cooking, too, the links of persian cuisine to indian are especially interesting to me. the author's style is delightful--i don't have many cookbooks that make me laugh out loud! the only reason i give this book four stars instead of five is that the recipes, while very good, really can't compare to the recipes in the persian cookbook, _food of life_. however, since _food of life_ is very expensive, anyone wanting to begin to explore the delicious world of persian cooking can do so enjoyably and successfully with this book, which is far better than any of the other persian cookbooks i have with the above exception.
