Review: authentic Ethiopian food at home - The recipes in this book are authentic, and the spice level can be varied to your taste. All the classic Ethiopian restaurant dishes are here: Doro Wat (spicy chicken), Yebeg Key Wot (spicy lamb stew), Misir Alicha (mild red lentils), Dincha Alicha (mild potatoes and carrots, Yabesha Gomen (collard greens) Key Sir Tibs (mild roasted beets) Medericha Wot (spicy eggplant), and dozens and dozens more. There's even a section on how to make injera, the steamed sourdough bread--although this recipe takes days, and it's easier to order premade injera from suppliers in major cities. The instructions are very clear, and there are helpful pictures of each recipe--and sometimes of each stage in a recipe. There's an index to help with Ethiopian food vocabulary--which was priceless when I went to order Ethiopian spices from Brundo.com to make the recipes. You'll want to have spice mixes like berbere and finishing spices like Mekelesha and Alicha Kimam on hand for true flavor. Ethiopian cooking uses Mekelesha or Alicha Kimam like Indian cooking uses Garam Masala--sprinkled over the dish at the end for that extra special something. I've been cooking recipes from this book and eating homemade Ethiopian food for dinner for about a month now, and there don't seem to be any weak dishes in this lineup. Review: Delicious, easy to follow recipes - I have absolutely loved using this cookbook. The authors break down Habesha cooking and don't assume you're already familiar with the ingredients or techniques. I have found it so helpful in learning to cook the food my husband grew up with for our family. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #833,540 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #182 in African Cooking, Food & Wine | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 85 Reviews | ## Images ![Auntie Tsehai Cooks: A Comprehensive Guide to Making Ethiopian and Eritrean Food - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ThTpzYPSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ authentic Ethiopian food at home *by M***Y on March 1, 2024* The recipes in this book are authentic, and the spice level can be varied to your taste.

Although the product seems more glorified photocopy, the content is priceless. It is more thorough than other cookbooks that I've found, both in terms of variety of recipes and in scope of directions. The writer takes her time to teach step by step, wisdom acquired through years of experience.
