THE BEST FOOD EVER
Finally, A Baghdad Cookery Book returns, rewritten clearly and with a human touch. This is a vital book on Middle East cooking. My mother says that Middle Eastern food is the best food ever. She's ninety-six. She is never without cracked wheat, olive oil, figs and dates, tabouli (a finely chopped salad), etc. The book is the work of two geniuses, and I'm grateful to have this book in my kitchen, along with the unrelated, but important books by Paul Blange, Paul Prudhomme and Emeril LaGasse. Eat, eat, the best food ever.

A demonstration of appliaed erudition
A welcome new edition of a fundamental book on classical Arab cooking. A good demonstration on how to go about reviewing and remaking a book that had already been accepted as a reference. Good read for the text and for the method.

Worst cookbook I have ever seen
Very disappointing - no amounts for the ingredients listed so you don't know whether to put a cup or 4 cups of something and some of the ingredients would only be applicable if we were cooking in Mesopotamiam times. What recipe asks for you to fry tail fat? I know I will never use this book and feel that it was a total waste of money

A good book for historians, not for actual cooks.
This book does not contain traditional recipies with contemporary measurements and ingredients. It works better as a historical reference of how cooking was done centuries ago. An interesting read for those seeking knowledge of old times, but unless your actually cook over an open flame with kindling for three fourths of the night, not too helpful for a modern cook.

Um es kurz zu sagen: Ich als kochbegeisterte Geschichtsnerdette liebe dieses Kochbuch. Mit dieser wunderbaren Neuübersetzung von Charles Perry kann man mit etwas Fantasie und Kenntnis der arabischen Küche sehr gut arbeiten oder viele der Gerichte so modifizieren, dass sie in unserer Zeit gut zuzubereiten sind. Besonders faszinierend finde ich, wie viele Rezepte aus dem 13. Jahrhundert auch heute noch aktuell sind und sich so oder zumindest ähnlich in der arabischen Küche wiederfinden. Für die europäische Küche unserer Gefilde trifft dies ja nicht so wirklich zu. Und wer gerne Reenactment macht und authentisch mittelalterlich kochen möchte, der findet hier ebenfalls viele Anregungen für die Lagerküche auf offenem Feuer. Aber: Es sind halt keine exakten Mengenangaben wie in modernen Rezeptbüchern, man muss mit Kocherfahrung und Eigenleistung herangehen, wenn man das Buch wirklich nutzen will. Aber das sollte bei einem fast 800 Jahre alten Kochbuch eigentlich klar sein. ;) P.S.: Seit meinem Kauf ist der Titel des Buches und der Autor mit Rechtschreibfehlern von Seiten Amazons durchsetzt - schade.

It’s perfect for medieval re-enactors like me.
