Mother Linda's Bulgarian Rhapsody by Linda J. Forristal
1 of 1 found this helpful This lovely cookbook is filled with many delicious-sounding recipe, a couple of which I have already prepared to the delight of my wife, who pronounced them delicious.
The recipes are clearly written and easy to understand, and some of the recipes are accompanied by lovely color photographs.
For me, who am not of Bulgarian ancestry, or married to a Bulgarian, this book is providing a wonderful introduction to a little-known cuisine in the U.S.
Interestingly enough, the night I prepared dishes from this lovely little tome, Bulgaria, quite unknown to me, was admitted into full membership in the E.U.:)

Not only is this Bible written in today's language, but the copious footnotes clarify the historical lexical and cultural context of each and every verse. In addition, the numerous sidebars elucidate at length the context various cultural concepts.

The Silver Spoon
This wonderful compendium of the classic Italian cuisines is simply a "must-have" for any serious afficionado/a of the foods of this region. It's been a mainstay and bible for more than a generation of Italian housewives, and is now available in a thoroughly readable English translation...thank goodness! It's easy to see why this marvelous cookbook as stood the test of time.
