Book Empire A taste of Algeria

I have now made most of the recipes in this book, they are delicious, and my Algerian friend tells me they are all authentic Algerian cuisine.

So far I have made 5 or 6 dishes from this recipe book and all of them were a hit. I look forward to making (and eating) more of these recipes. I don't know how traditional they are, but they are very tasty.

Size of book was smaller than expected but its contents make up for the dimensions. 50 recipes total, a beautiful sample of Algeria's cuisine.

Unless you're an Algerian food expert or a very dependent on recipes to prepare edible food, this book suited the purpose stated: introductory recipes from Algeria.

i bought lotsa books hoping to master algerian cuisine....but my tireless search revealed that there aren't very many books in the market about algerian cooking...you will find countless about moroccon though....showed this book to my algerian friend & she authenticated the recipes, hence i've given it 4 stars....the missing star is because of the bad layout of the book...it has no page index...no pictures...seems more like recipes downloaded from the net on a home printer and bound into a book!...but if like me, you're after authentic recipes rather than glossy book finish...this book is highly recommended!
