  • So many but different
I made the first recipe in the book, the almond cookies from Iran. They're delicious and very different from any other cookies I've made. I bought this book because I enjoy trying new things. This is definitely the book for that. There are so many recipes and a lot of recipes also have other variations of the recipe. I usually buy books based on how many photos of food are in the reviews but this one i didn't want to wait. You always know if people are enjoying it if there is photographic evidence that they cooked something! I will mention that photos are limited within the cookbook, which in my opinion can make it difficult when there is such a large volume of recipes because you have to read through every ingredient then to decide which one to start with. Maybe that's why I just made the first recipe. If there were more photos I would five star but my brain can't handle so many options without visual assistance. ... show more

  • A Lesson on How NOT to use Geography
I have been looking forward to the release of this book. When I first opened it today, I ended up in the "Mediterranean" section of the book. Portugal but not France included there? I got curious. Then, the British Isles and Australia combined? México in "Central America" not "North America"? One recipe for the "North American" country of Canada? Brazil has influence from Spain? What a disappointment. It would have been much better to simply not use geographical "regions", and just name the countries where the specific type of cookie is made. Cultural appropriation, or rather "misappropriation" at its best! I may revise my ONE star rating if any of the recipes resemble the real stuff... ... show more

  • Too Few Pictures
I got this book from the library to see if I wanted to buy it. It provides recipes for many types of cookies - some of which I found quite interesting. However, there are very few pictures. As tempted as I was by the recipes for some cookies that I have not seen elsewhere, I know I am not likely to tackle a cookie recipe without knowing what the outcome should look like. Beyond the cost, there is also the fact that it is a big book and will take up a lot of space. My decision was to not buy. Another person might make a different decision. ... show more
