Persian Cooking for a Healthy Kitchen
Healthful variations have been developed by Batmanglij for nearly 100 traditional Persian dishes, providing low-fat substitutions for such ingredients as butter. The book is a feast for the eyes and an inspiring invitation to sample Persian cuisine, with full-page color photographs illustrating the recipes and a French flair enlivening their presentation. Among beguiling combinations of spices and herbs, saffron is often the dominant flavor--in a dessert pudding as well as in many specialties, such as eggplant kuku, baked lamb, and sweet and sour stuffed quail with rose petals (an exotic-sounding ingredient that is easy to obtain these days in many markets). Easy-to-follow instructions make this a fine introduction to Persian cooking.Alice Joyce--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
