231.The Persian Kitchen: Home Cooking from the Middle East by: Neda Afrashi May 18, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.00 You Save: £7.00 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.95
This is more than a collection of recipes. Although there seem to be relatively few recipes and simple preparation, every dish I have cooked has been subtle, delicious and fragrant. This book is all about home cooking with lovely explanations of where and when you might eat the dishes. Interspersed with the recipes are pages on Persian ettiquette and history and rich images of Iranian life; a street vendor at night with stacks of primary coloured tins covered with arabic script, Isfahan bridges in golden evening light, bold mosaic tiles, a peridot green lake below snow capped mountains and a bride dancing in candy pink tulle. The images accompanying the recipes are no less luscious; piles of dried limes, and barberries, bright yellow ... Read More:

232.The Best of Polish Cooking: A Delightful Compilation of Traditional Polish Fare in an Easy-to-use Menu Format by: Karen West 2000-07
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.49 You Save: £1.50 (21%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.85
I have many relatives in Poland and I visit there on a regular basis, therefore I wanted to reproduce the cuisine at home. This book is very usefull in that it contains lists of menus (so you know which foods are supposed to go together) and a huge variety of polish recipies. Polish cooking is usually very basic and this book is a prime example of this with very simple instructions. Another hit with my family was the section on Polish drinks, containing recipies for delicious flavoured vodkas. I was very pleased with this book indeed.

233.The Real Greek at Home: Dishes from the Heart of the Greek Kitchen by: Theodore Kyriakou, Charles Campion July 15, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.49 You Save: £4.50 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.16
This book is rubbish if you want to learn anything other than Greek history of food and culture. It offers no pictures of the recipes, nor of presentation - instead showing pictures of old men smoking and the Virgin Mary. It appears to be designed for a Greek person who already has a great knowledge of Greek cooking. I see no point in the book recommending not to use British alternatives, without then explaining how to make the Greek version. I want my Money Back and will be asking. Otherwise, if you want a dust collector, I highly recommend.

234.Japanese Homestyle Cooking: Traditional Everyday Recipes by: Tokiko Suzuki 2000-01
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.44 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.21 You Save: £4.23 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.21
I bought this on recommendation and am delighted with it. The 'homestyle' dishes may not reflect current trends in Japan, but these are dishes I've been served by my grandmother-in-law and in Japanese Inns. The book is certainly full of the 'homestyle' dishes I wanted to replicate. Everything is clear, the step by step instructions are accompanied by photos, the layout is unfussy and easy to follow yet somehow seems stuffed with useful additional tips and advice. All the tools and utensils you would find in a traditional Japanese kitchen are shown and explained so that you can make an informed decision about suitable substitutes. As long as you have access to Asian markets (I live in London so can get most of the ingredients) this is highly recommended ... Read More:
