Customer Reviews
Buy a real cookbook
This is a horrible example of a "cookbook". If you want to learn more about Ethiopian cooking, visit your local Ethiopian restaurant or buy an authentic book written by a real Ethiopian.
As others iterated, this is really a booklet. What that really means is that this is a poorly type-written, few page, very brief overview of a couple of things.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for Ethiopian cuisine or experimenting with this type of cooking.
Tasty Recipes, just too few
This is the most realistic recipe book for Ethiopian cooking I have found. I was a bit taken back that it was so cheaply bound, but what it lacks in style it makes up in substance. Very great recipe for berbere the most important sauce in Ethiopian cooking, it is worth it for that recipe alone.
This is a pamphlet, not a book
I expected a cook book. This is a 4 page laminated pamphlet. It is way over priced for what it is.
Strong content -- a bit short
Author shows a clear command of the subject, but the book is somewhat short. It would do the author well to add another 10-20 pages to future copies of the book.
If you're looking for a quick list of some Ethiopian dishes you can make at home, this is a perfect book. I suggest anyone interested in real recipes that can actually be made in American kitchen's check this book out. If you're looking to master the ins and outs of Ethiopian cooking I suggest you look elsewhere.
The one thing I would have like to see more of is cultural discussion about how food is served etc. There is a page devoted to this, but I don't really feel well informed by this book.
Fine Way To Get Started With Ethiopian Tastes
Though properly described as a booklet rather than a tome, Finn's guide to Ethiopian-inspired cuisine is a fine introduction for the curious cook who wants to explore new tastes without spending too much on a large collection of recipes. The 11 recipes offer some basics - traditional flatbread, spiced oil and kale all make appearances - as well as hearty main dishes, all of which are vegetarian. (Carnivores shouldn't be dissuaded - any of the recipes offered can easily be used as a side for a meaty main course.) Finn's notes and asides offer practical advice in addition to fascinating cultural insights, and the book's "comb" binding allows it to lie flat, which is a real asset for those who need to refer to a recipe several times throughout the cooking process. Those looking for a definitive collection of Ethiopian recipes accompanied by glossy photos will probably want to look elsewhere, but beginning cooks or casual culinary adventurers on a budget will find what they're looking for here.
