The Iraqi Family Cookbook [Karim, Kay] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Iraqi Family Cookbook

Review: AUTHENTIC IRAQI / MIDDLE EASTERN COOKERY - The author does a lovely job of telling Westerners or displaced Iraqis how to make their own Arabian Spice mixture, as well as other substitutions for commonly used items. She also does a good job of telling what dishes accompany each other, and what time of year or celebrations go with the foods. Typical chapter menues for a cookbook such as appetizers, soups and stews, then the vegetables, different kinds of meats, and desserts. Very good pictures and clear instrucitons. This author did a lovely job with t he cookbook.
Review: Extremely Pleased - My husband is from Mosul,Iraq. He has lived in the USA since 1958, but has vivid and fond memories of his years growing up in Mosul and Baghdad. I ordered this cookbook for him as a gift. To say he was pleased is an understatement! The photos and especially the section of historical facts about Iraq took him on a mind-journey back to his childhood and homeland. He is so happy that each recipe, although written in English, has the Arabic name for that particular dish. We have tried many of the recipes, some of which my husband could prepare almost without the book because the dishes and foods are so familiar to him. We have ordered seven copies of the book and sent them to various family members with the hope that they will enjoy it as much as we have. I am happy to have discovered such a publication with so much meaning for our family. Kudos to author Kay Karim for putting together this beautiful cookbook!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Iraqi cookbook.
*by E***N on June 24, 2015*

I deployed to Iraq a lot when I was in the Army and when I was there I loved the food. I can't find anything close to it in the states so I ordered this book for my girlfriend (I guess you can say it's for me) and we've made several of the things I remembered having. It's got a lot of foods one would normally encounter while there, which is what I was looking for. It's got a lot of variety and it's explained easily. I was skeptical at first but I made the right choice on ordering this. On other reviews a woman complained about the pictures being blurry. A couple are in ways but you can clearly see what it is with no problem. Don't let that deter you from getting this. The pictures are fine.
