As a result, the Egyptians enjoyed a wholesome diet. This cookbook recreates the flavours of Ancient Egypt with 35 recipes pocket loaves and dried fig and apricot jam, and fish with Tarator sauce.

Customer Reviews

Little small in pages and in size but the information is great

This book has good recipes although most of them require ingredients that are hard to find in the USA for obvious reasons. You can look up substitutes though, so that isn't a problem. The book is small with not a lot of recipes but the information inside is still fascinating.
