I recently received my copy of this cookbook in the mail, and I'm thrilled!! I've been a frequent visitor of myhalalkitchen.com for a few years now, so I was very excited when I found out Yvonne Maffei was publishing a cookbook. The same creativity and precision which is evident on the website can be found in this book. The layout is gorgeous with elegant designs and beautiful (and mouthwatering) pictures. The cookbook features recipes from various ethnic cuisines and shows how to make popular dishes in a halal way without using pork or alcohol. I recently made the coconut balls as a dessert, and they were an absolute hit! With it's hardcover, glossy pages, beautiful layout, and delicious recipes, this cookbook makes an excellent gift for anyone!-Nogeen
Great ideas for substitutions and lovely recipes-my husband loved the simmered pears and the shrimp pad thai came out great! Looking forward to trying some more! -S
This is honestly a great book! Recipes are easy to follow and the ones that I tried ALL came out delicious, lots of variety when it comes to the recipes. I highly recommend this book. -BM. O
