Afghan Cuisine

I have never felt this strongly about a cookbook but it was such a disappointment! I've tried cooking various recipes from this book and nothing comes out as it should. When I've cross-checked ingredients and directions online, I've found this book to be WAY off the mark. Now, I'm currently writing in this book, correcting the mistaken directions while I wait for something better to be written. If anyone has better Afghan cookbook suggestions, I'd love to know.

Enjoyable Afghan food

Great Book!

This book really is great for novices (such as myself) who want to learn tradional delicious Afghan dishes but without the complications. The recipes are simple and easy to understand. There's tons of dishes in it to choose from and it really gives insight into Afghan cuisine. A MUST have.

This book is amazing! And so easy to follow! Love it!

It is just a wonderful book. Easy to follow and clear to understand. Except the measuring part. It was not complete and needs more expansion on it. I still need a bit clarification on it. For example, speaking of measuring equipments, it should be in the manner:1 Cup = How many mils? = How many ounces? In terms of using quarters like 2/3 of a cup it could be problematic. Because in my humble opinion, cup sizes vary. If it is a standard cup, then I would like to know what is a standard cup equal to? So many probably wouldn't know what is 1 Standard size cup equal to? In terms of milliliters or in terms of ounces is more helpful. It helps, it if had been in this way. Any info in this regard anyone might have, please pass it on to me. Other then that is just wonderful and I recommand it to anyone.Good luck and thanks,

After my deployment to Afghanistan, I really missed the food. I worked very closely with the Afghan army and often ate with the interps. These recipes are excellent.

This book is totally OK. I think it is a little boring. All the recepies taste the same? I have done exactly what is said in the book, but still it tastes the same as everything else... Dont get me wrong, the food is easy to make and taste very good but i think its used alot of the same ingredienses over and over again. It is a good book for beginners though.Im in a relationship with an afghan man, going on our 5th year now. He loves it when I make afghan food, so i have used this book alot but i also find recepies online..I think it is different for every author how the recepies taste, every family has its own way of making food..This is a book based on the authors family recepies..All and all this is a good book with tasty recepies!

Very Nice book but requires more contribution from all parts of Afgahnistan to show the true diversity of Afghan cuisine.Also, the book reflects on the fact that Afghan Dishes, Culture and History is far away from places like Punjab Pakistanis and India which the west claim is all one land block (totally fabricated and untrue).I hope this book succeeds and people of the west open there eyes and prevent their governments trying to mix 5000 year Afghanculture with punjab Pakistanis.

Very disappointing. Ameranised version of Afghan cuisine. Chocolate chio cookies ? I don't think so ! Get 'A Pinch of Salt' instead.

Great book! Great recipes and very descriptive? Easy to understand. The author does a great job of connecting the user to the recipes

This cookbook contains not only most seductive recipes, but as well some really mouthwatering pictures. I can recommend buying this to anybody.

amazing book for beginners.
