Classic Vegetarian Cooking from the Middle East & North Africa
Habeeb Salloum
Interlink Publishing Group, 2002
Quick,healthy, and tasty "recipes" for the meditteranean eater.
I'm sure most people reading about "vegetarian middle-eastern" cookbooks are good cooks when they have the time and inclination. But I, for one, have grown bored with my own repertoire. Most cookbooks are more fun to read than to actually cook from. Or they have ...

Great for new portuguese cookers

A Traveller's History of North Africa (Traveller's History)
Barnaby Rogerson
Interlink Publishing Group, 2000
A Good Way to Whet the Appetite
