Deceptive in its simplicity - By: Martin G. Straus, 04 Jan 2008
I am a great fan of Claudia Roden - her knowledge of food is excellent & she has the ability to describe recipes in a very simple aand effective manner. I took this particular book out of my local library (it's Cookery in the title by the way, not Cooking) & discovered I wanted to make almost every single recipe! Some of the dishes I already know, but her recipes are usuallly simpler & just as tasty as my existing ones. I've now run out library renewals, & so have decided to add the book to my collection. I know I won't regret it, & can heartily recommend this outstanding book.

Bless, it's hardly surprising that you are disappointed at not being able to find Persian recipes in a book on Mediterranean food. Maybe you'd be better off with an atlas first? Once you know where Persia is, try Claudia Roden's peerless 'A New Book of Middle Eastern Food' (Penguin)
Foolproof sophistication - By: , 25 Jul 2005
This book is deceptive in its simplicity. Complicated Mediterranean recipes suddenly are easy & successful. Claudia Roden gets the essential parts of a recipe in an easy to make format. There are useful tips that guarantee success.
Furthermore her background information on common Mediterranean dishes that go under different names in different countries is very enlightening.
A book to be recommended to both beginners & advanced cooks.
