Summary: My Great Grandmother
Review: I really love this cookbook! I have about quite a few Armenian cookbooks, but this one is becoming one of my favorites. I am Armenian, born in the USA, and have grown up on Armenian food. My parents were from Egypt, and my mother is an excellent cook. Sometimes I enjoy surprising her with Armenian dishes she hasn't had in quite some time, and the recipes in this book come out right and tasting authentic, even without her input! Rose has also written some silly little poems about her recipes, and it just makes me smile picturing this Armenian lady including little rhymes about her recipes! There are no photos, but there are different versions of dishes, as well as different amounts based on portion size, which is really a useful tool. I think this book is a real bargain for anyone who would like to try cooking some Armenian dishes. Whether you are a beginner, or a seasoned cook, The variety of Armenian dishes and Rose Baboian's light writing style will make this a favorite in your cookbook collection.

Summary: Don't Pass This Book Up
Review: I received a copy of this book from my mother-in-law many years ago. She used it before me and taught me to cook my husband's favorite foods from it. I have tried other Armenian cookbooks over the years and NONE compare to this one for its authenticity and simplicity. You will find the paklava, lahmejoun, kufte, beurek, madzoon, and dolma recipies excellent and timeless. I have used the book so much that the cover is now falling off and I need a new copy. I never thought I'd still find it available. I plan to get two extra copies for my two sons and I highly recommend it to those who want to learn traditional Armenian recipes.

Summary: By Far, the Best Armenian Cookbook
Review: Many great childhood memories were cooked up from this book in my house...we grew up on some of these favorites...even the one for "American" stuffing (dressing) - I've never come across anyone who didn't love the recipes from Rose's book.

Review: My Grandfather (Robert Baboian)'s mother wrote this book. It is a very good Armenian Cookbook. I like the recipe for pilaf the most because pilaf is excellent.

Summary: I have a signed copy of this wonderful book
Review: My mother gave me a signed copy of Rose's book when I got married in 1960. The cover is falling off, and the pages are stained, but it's the best! This book has authentic recipes, and the food tastes just as if my mother, grandmother and mother-in-law cooked them. I always know that what I prepare will turn out as expected, and my family will love. My 3 children also have copies of this wonderful book. My one son got his from Amazon.com! Paree achorghag! that means good appetite, in Armenian

Summary: A Very Please Armenian-Amercian!
Review: The recipes contained in this book are varied and relatively easy to follow. I have found that the spice recommendations for each recipe are wonderful in comparison to what foods can be purchsed at an Armenian store. Each time I have tried a recipe it has come out exceptionally well (the only exceptions to this are the speedy golden cake and pineapple upside-down cake-perhaps Rose should have focused on Armenian cuisine!). The Lahmejoun is the best flavored I've ever tasted and the Butter Gargantak (cheoreg) topped with the sugar syrup has won local acclaim. A must have book for the Armenian cook!
