Customer Reviews:
Finally a well researched and authentic book on Armenian Cooking
If you are looking to buy a book on Armenian food, look no further.

What a great book!

I am learning a lot from it. Not only it has great and authentic recipes but also provides historical and cultural references and anecdotes.

I would buy the book just for the chapter on herbs and spices. Finally I know that, for example, Dandoor is Purslane.

It has a glossary or culinary terms near the end which I also find very useful.

And, of course, recipes are as authentic as it gets.
