Divine! - By: M. Agius, 30 Jul 2008 
A fantastic book, a well worn favourite for this style of cooking, the fact she suggests using recipes as inspiration & not to be afraid of changing something, I found to be a lovely touch.
Everything I have made so far have been massive hits with my family.
A Perfect Book - By: Kentish Woman, 27 Jul 2008 Arabesque is written in similar vein to The Book of Jewish Food. There is, again, a lot of socioligical & historical context & the recipes are utterly realiable. The layout is lovely, & the book well indexed. Faultless.
Gorgeous - By: bookbee, 23 May 2008 Another great book by Claudia Roden. Lovely recipes, easy to follow. A great complement to The Book of Jewish Food.
Could improve layout but not recipes - By: Kate Blake, 13 Jul 2007 The book is split into sections by country, which I think can make it difficult to navigate - if you want to cook a main course with lamb you have to look in each of the three different country chapters to see alll the recipes. But the recipes themselves (which is after alll the most important thing) are wonderful - inspiring, clear, manageable & delicious, so with a different layout & perhaps a list of mail order suppliers, this could be perfect.
garygary - By: G. BUTLER, 18 Jun 2007 This book leads like a dream.The only difficult bit is actuallly putting it down to cook the recipes. If you are interested in foods from these regions then start with this book & it will fuel your imagination.
