Synopsis: "Delights from the Garden of Eden is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, family, professional, and community library Ethnic Cookbook collections." Wisconsin Book Watch, Reviewer's choice.  This new Iraqi cookbook contains more than four hundred recipes covering all food categories. There is ample choice for both vegetarian and meat lovers, and many that will satisfy a sweet tooth. All recipes have been tested and are easy to follow. Introducing the recipes are thoroughly researched historical and cultural narratives that trace the development of the Iraqi cuisine from the times of the Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians, through the medieval era, and leading to its interaction with Mediterranean and world cuisine.
Of particular interest are the book's numerous folkloric stories, anecdotes, songs, cultural explications of customs, and excerpts from narratives written by foreign visitors to the region. Arabic calligraphy, and photos, paintings and sketches add to the pictorial appeal of the book.

From the Author: The book has received the Special Award of the Jury of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards for 2007
