I love reading cookbooks, and have quite a collection, but I don't usually add them here. I couldn't let this one pass without comment though. It's a truly beautiful book, visually stunning and a really interesting read. (My only complaint is that it's bound so poorly, a real shame when the content is such high quality - I have a softcover edition). It sits on my coffee table (for now, it's still quite new) yet at the same time the recipes are really usable, and I've started trying some out. If More...

This book features lots of beautiful pictures, unique (at least to me, and I'm not entirely a novice) recipes and brief introductions to some of the predominant food cultures of modern Israel. My biggest qualm is with the size and weight of the book. It seems more at home on a coffee table than a kitchen counter- and I like my cookbooks to get messy!

It's a beautiful book. The photos made me think a visit to Israel might be worth the expense just to eat the food. A nice amount of information about the cuisine and all the cultures that have influenced it. Everyone interested in cooking should give it a look. The only thing that stopped me from giving it a fourth star was that although I wouldn't mind eating most of the food, I knew I wasn't going to cook any of the recipes myself.
