My Thoughts:
The pictures in this book highlight the amazing food, which you feel like you could eat right through the pages!
The directions for the recipes are very thorough, ensuring that your food should look and taste like the authors.
The recipes usually make enough for 8-12 people, which is great because we are a family of 7.
I recommend this cookbook to anyone looking to make new foods.This will be a wonder addition to our cookbook collection.

A charming collection of 100 recipes from Cambridge's Sofra Bakery and Cafe, showcasing modern Middle Eastern spices and flavors with exotic yet accessible sweet and savory dishes geared toward everyday cooking and entertaining.

With a primer on essential ingredients and techniques, and recipes such as Morning Buns with Orange Blossom Glaze, Whipped Feta with Sweet and Hot Peppers, Eggplant Manoushe with Labne and Za'atar, and Sesame Caramel Cashews, Soframiz will transport readers to the markets and kitchens of the Middle East.— New York Times, "Best of the Rest" Honorable Mention
