It provides some historic information on the cuisine to go with authentic recipes. The photos are nice too.

Gorgeous cookbook: beautiful stories and writing along with the recipes and photos. She’s a fantastic storyteller and I love that it connects to the food and cultures. Because of her writing, I’m using this and Saffron Tales as reading books to my niece and nephews as part of the home economics and cultural lessons at-home.

This is one of the best cookbooks I've ever encountered. We got this as part of a cook-book-club and tasted probably two dozen recipes from the book and only one out of all of those we tried wasn't an absolute slam dunk.
