lilith89ibz 's review for:
If you buy cookbooks because you like to make quick and easy meals, this one is not that. This is a very interesting cookbook, just not the one from which you're going to get your weekly staples.
I've been following Miller's YouTube channel for years, so I was already familiar with a lot of these recipes. My favourites are the truly ancient Mediterranean ones. I find their commitment to flavouring everything with fish sauce and tons of herbs and spices delightful. I love the attention to the historical background, the care with which uncommon ingredients have been researched and substitutions provided when necessary, the photos of historical documents and artwork, and the lighthearted humour throughout this book.
Will I be recreating ancient Egyptian hummus that requires procuring unusual spices and then making the spice mix myself with a mortar and pestle? Yes, most likely. Spartan black broth, made with pork blood, is not as high on the list, but I enjoy having choices. Informative, entertaining and a surefire way to spice up your cooking once in a while.
