Rezensionen / Stimmen
"From stews to sweets, there is something enticing here for every type of cook. Some recipes take ten minutes (fried eggs and dates, fattoush salad) while others require four hours and overnight soaking time (spiced beans with tahini). Beautiful photographs of dishes accompany each recipe, as do potential modifications. . . Bilhana will encourage readers to use whole ingredients, make the most of their pantries, and enjoy delicious food with those they cherish."-Booklist
"A celebration of culinary traditions, yet suited to modern-day . . .something for every meal planner yearning for a Middle Eastern treat."-The National
"Filled with mouth-watering recipes. . . . This is a beautifully crafted book, both visually and in terms of content, and I do not hesitate to say that I have fallen in love with it." -Ahram Weekly
"Old methods (smoldering charcoal in the oven for seasoned kofta) blend with hip, new flavors (hibiscus popsicles anyone?) in this tempting reimagining of a traditional cuisine."-AramcoWorld
