Great book!By shannonNot only is it very informational, but the recipes give you the opportunity to experience a piece of Kurdistan from your own American kitchen! I've been looking for a Kurdish recipe book that is in English uses our measurements in cups/tsp/tbsp to avoid needing to convert to metric measurements (that can also cause changes in final taste of recipe if not done precisely). I've only made it through a couple recipes so far...but I can already tell this will be a very well used book!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good Iraqi Kurdish RecipiesBy KrystalThe book is simple, the story isn't that involved but the recipes are true Iraqi Kurdish recipes, where they are hard to find in English . Being an American with a Kurdish boyfriend, its nice to fine a book that has many of his favorite home style dishes that he misses. Overall the recipes are easy, but it does get more complicated when getting into the desserts. I would suggest that you do pay attention to your own awareness of how to cook, where the author clearly is not a professional chef and I have noticed that her ingredient list doesn't always match the steps (where an ingredient is changed), therefore I suggest being aware of what goes with what based on self knowledge. But this book does give you a great start for understanding normal Iraqi Kurdish dishes. I would buy the book again.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.

Where Tulips and Crocuses Are Popular Food Snacks: Kurdish
Pieroni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2019) 15:59 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-019-0341-0 RESEARCH Open Access Where tulips and crocuses are popular food snacks: Kurdish traditional foraging reveals traces of mobile pastoralism in Southern Iraqi Kurdistan Andrea Pieroni1* , Hawre Zahir2, Hawraz Ibrahim M. Amin3,4 and Renata Sõukand5 Abstract Background: Iraqi Kurdistan is a special hotspot for bio-cultural diversity and for investigating patterns of traditional wild food plant foraging, considering that this area was the home of the first Neolithic communities and has been, over millennia, a crossroad of different civilizations and cultures. The aim of this ethnobotanical field study was to cross-culturally compare the wild food plants traditionally gathered by Kurdish Muslims and those gathered by the ancient Kurdish Kakai (Yarsan) religious group and to possibly better understand the human ecology behind these practices. Methods: Twelve villages were visited and 123 study participants (55 Kakai and 68 Muslim Kurds) were interviewed on the specific topic of the wild food plants they currently gather and consume. Results: The culinary use of 54 folk wild plant taxa (corresponding to 65 botanical taxa) and two folk wild mushroom taxa were documented. While Kakais and Muslims do share a majority of the quoted food plants and also their uses, among the plant ingredients exclusively and commonly quoted by Muslims non-weedy plants are slightly preponderant. Moreover, more than half of the overall recorded wild food plants are used raw as snacks, i.e. plant parts are consumed on the spot after their gathering and only sometimes do they enter into the domestic arena.

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern. Terminology "Asian cuisine" most often refers to East Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Southeast Asian cuisine and South Asian cuisine. In much of Asia, the term does not include the area's native cuisines. For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.

Kurdish Kingdom (AKA “Corduene”) Spread Across Regions Encompassing Modern Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Armenia
KURDS LOCATION The Kurds formerly settled in the Mediterranean Plain along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The Kurdish kingdom (AKA “Corduene”) spread across regions encompassing modern Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Armenia. Today most Kurds live in the mountains of Eastern Turkey (Taurus Mountains) and Northwestern Iran (Zagros Mountains). Many reside in Iraq, Syria, and Armenia as well. POPULATION As of the late 1990’s, it was estimated that about 20 million Kurds remained. More recent numbers indicate the following: Turkey=15 million Iran=6 million Iraq=6 million Syria=2 million Armenia=50,000 Half of the Kurds alive today reside in Turkey. Others make up 10% of Iran’s population and 23% of Iraq’s population. GEOGRAPHY/TOPOGRAPHY The Kurdish land is typically mountainous and referred to by many as “uninhabitable.” The Kurds have become settled agrarian peoples by forced assimilation into modern countries—they were previously nomadic farmers. Adaptations to farming techniques and lifestyles have been made to accommodate expectations to remain isolated. The Kurds have successfully adapted to mountain life and this isolation has in turn provided a cultural preservation. CLIMATE OF KURDISTAN • Characterized by extreme conditions, with large temperature differences between day and night and between winter and summer. • Two patterns; semiarid and summer-dry; in winter drops below -35 ºC; in summer rises to 45 ºC. Variations in elevation create vast differences in climate ETHNICITY Ethnic roots and physical characteristics are similar to those of the Persians. TRADITIONS/CULTURE *Cultural traditions have been preserved due to geographic isolation in the mountain regions of the Middle East.Social organization remains traditional— the Kurds have a patriarchal society.
