What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Thanks to this mother-son effort, the Assyrian roots of iconic foods like baklava, kebabs, and steak tartare are visible. The specifics of Assyrian cuisine can be found in the pantry, with ingredients like grape molasses, mastic, and nigella seed, and in cultural traditions, such as the offering of kolonya before and after meals. These 60+ dishes require time and preparation, like maqloubeh or upside-down savory pie, but are a definite must-try.” – Barbara Jacobs * Booklist * “A culinary delight to simple browse through and an ideal resource for kitchen cooks wanting to create truly memorable menus with for both formal and informal dining occasions.” – Midwest Book Review
