Cardamom and Lime: Recipes from the Arabian Gulf

Love the pictures and the recipes were delicious. Lentil soup was wonderful and the Jereesh brought back great memories. I will continue to use these recipes.

Talk about tasty meals fit to support a family! Would've loved to have grown up on this kind of eating. I loved the photography that was included into this book too. Tempted to owning 2 copies instead of one to have on the coffee table. I truly do love this book though, I hope to find more like this.

Beautiful photos and recipes

Two of my favorite flavors are given the spotlight with interesting facts and mouth watering recipes, especially cardamom.

Beautifully written and illustrated to say nothing of how good the recipes are!

So nostalgic of living in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Kuwaiti food is something I miss dearly since I grew up there. This is a Kuwaiti woman's cook book. BRAVO!!!! I love to see success come to those who are Kuwaiti.

Pretty good book and I liked the fact that the author added some background story to some of the recipes like which ones are popular during Ramadan, or different occasions.The only thing I wish she had included were a few more of the popular national recipes. Also, some of the dishes can be made so much simpler than the directions she has listed, but I am going to try a few of these to see just how good they are.

Book was as described and it arrived quickly. Thank you very much! Happy cooking!

I've been looking for an Arabian Gulf foods cookbook for some time and this beauty is spot on! It's a truly gorgeous book with yummy recipes and colorful photos. As a former expat in the Gulf who misses the wonderful food, I'm so glad to have found this.

ANy cook should want to own this book. I love hte recipies and the stories and even the photography in the book are great. I love it so much I want another copy, one for hte kitchen and one for the coffee table.

Large, informative and has many recipes.

I was rather disappointed with this book. There are only about 40 recipes and, for me, there just wasn't anything really new or exciting. Each recipe comes with a picture of the finished dish which some people may find useful. The book is padded out with lots of photos of e.g. markets, shops, etc which did nothing for me as there wasn't enough narrative to make this one of those travel/food books that I can happily spend an evening leafing through without actually needing to cook. Perhaps I am spoilt (I have more than 350 cookery books) but I didn't feel that the book was either interesting or good value for money. I didn't return it but I haven't used it either. If I want to cook middle eastern food I invariably find myself using one of Claudia Roden's books or Arto der Haroutunian.

Nice book. slim, but with some great recipes in it.
