I found this book at some flea market ages ago, and then pretty much forgot about it. Until a few weeks ago it caught my eye again, and I decided to cook a recipe from it. It was very good. I tried another one, and it was very good as well. And another.

The recipes come broadly from the Middle Eastern region, and they are quite simple but flavorful. They are spiced well but not extravagantly, and often regional variations are included ("In Turkey, cinnamon is preferred to oregano"). I am happy I rediscovered this one.
