Summary: Super cookbook
Comment: This is my third cookbook by this author. _The Food of Italy_ is very good, and I have several time-worn favorites in _A New Book of Middle Eastern Food_. But since getting these two, my daughter and I stopped eating meat, and we were looking for a bit of culinary inspiration. Well, we have it in _Invitation_. My daughter was especially thrilled since the book is geared to exactly what we eat: veggies and seafood. The recipes are elegant, creative, uncommon, but completely doable. (If only we could get zucchini here in Taiwan!) They tend toward the light side - we avoid stodgy food when we can - using fresh ingredients artistically. This book had me daydreaming of home entertaining again, the kind with style and flair. Some of the recipes that grabbed my attention: Lentil and Spinach Salad, Spicy Walnut Paste, Brown Lentils and Rice with Caramelized Onions, Couscous with Roast Vegetables, Eggplant Omelet, Salsa Verde, Fish Soup with Saffron and Cream. We try to avoid sweets, but there is a seductive photo of Sauteed Fruit with Almond Custard that sends out a siren call every time I open to that page (201, if you want to stop there first). The book includes expertly composed photographs, has generous margins and comfortable type, and is overall a high-quality volume as regards design, paper, printing, and binding. If any of this strikes a chord with you, this book should be a winner for you, too.

Summary: Very good but not completely Mediterranean
Comment: The book written by Ms. Roden is a very good book containing interesting recipes, but I do not consider it as Mediterranean. It is more North African. Olive oil, garlic and fish are the three thingns that symbolyse the region. They lack in the book. I hope that they will appear in the next printings. If needed; I am ready to assist with recipes.

Summary: Good but North African instead of Mediterranean
Comment: It is a very good book but it mostly reflects the North African kitchen. In the Mediterranean there are three things very common: olive oil, garlic and fish.These lack in the book. Excluding these it is very good.
If there will be a secnd edition of this book, it must for sure be enriched with Mediterranean seafood recipes. It am ready to help.
