All right, so we may not all be foodies, but I'll bet each and every one of you could find something deliciously satisfying between the covers of this book. Whether you're a lover of simple dips like Babagannouj and Hummus or have a sweet tooth for delights like Baklava or Almond fingers, there's something in here for you. Full of glossy pictures and with recipes which are really quite simple and easy to follow, its hard to go far wrong with this book.
Okay, I hear you say, but what about Dad/Nana/Great Aunt Delilah whose tastes have to be accounted for. Personally I say bugger them, but if we really have to think about them, why not keep the menu simple - say we start off with Courgette soup, followed up with Roast Chicken stuffed with pine nuts and French Bean, Leek and Asparagus salad, followed by Date Rolls with Middle Eastern Lemonade to wash it down. I promise if you don't tell them they won't even realise! Meanwhile you can plan a special dinner for when Nana's out of town and treat yourself (and a date?) to the Duck in Walnut and Pomegranate Sauce. Mmmmmm.
Recommended for foodies, cookbook collectors and anyone who likes to try flavoursome new recipes.
