Not too much to say about this cookbook. It's certainly a quick read, if it can be called a read, and it has some delicious recipes contained within. My one quibble was that some of the recipes include modern ingredients such as rice, tomatoes, potatoes etc. that the ancient Egyptians wouldn't have had. The author does note this and says this utilises modern ingredients and flavours whilst remaining true to the historical culinary spirit, but it is supposed to be "An Ancient Egyptian Cookbook", right?

7 out of 10.
