Qa'meh (Finely Minced Meat)

What do you think of the Hippocrene series of cookbooks? I had not heard of them until I saw a whole series free on Kindle yesterday.

Hi Peckish Sister :-) I only have 2, the Persian one and the Isreli one, and unfortunately I am not familiar with either cuisine so I don't know how good they are. The Persian one is interesting to read, with bits and pieces on the background of the recipes, and she does warn the reader that home Persian cuisine is more "delicate" then most people expect. The Israeli one I am not so are about. None of the recipes look that interesting. I bought it second-hand, and I don't think I would have paid full price. They are only little books, and if they are free, I would definitely download the Persian one. Hope this helps Ducks

Hi Ducks =D Thank you for that great information. I like the idea of Kindle cookbooks that are interesting to read rather than just being full of recipes. A great alternative to the big cookbooks I have been carrying around (the Pie and Pastry Bible!). The Persian was not free, but a lot of their others were.

LOVE the beak! Cheers, Ducks
