Rating: 1
Summary: Poor in many ways
Comment: There are a number of problems with this book:

1) None of the two authors aparently, has any knowledge of the culinary art, and that is clearly reflected everywhere in this book. It is obvious that they haven't even researched the abandant resources of Albanian cooking.

2) The translation is far from professional, making it difficult to read.

3) The book is hard to follow because the instructions are vague, e.g. 1 package of x means nothing as a package can have various sizes.

4) Having visited Albania numerous times, and having an appeciation for their delicious cooking, I find this book nowhere near an Albanian cook book; e.g. the apperitives list is incorrect, with nothing in the list being a real Albanian apperitive. Erroneous content consists throughout the text, mainly as a result of authors' lack of culinary knowledge (turkey stuffed with chestnuts - never heard in Albania!!!).

Rating: 3
Summary: Interesting, but not well written (edited)
Comment: Overall, I enjoyed this recipe book. However, many of the recipes do not appear to be well edited. On numberous occasions akward (non-native speaker?) language is employed, thereby making many of the recipes extremely confusing. Nonetheless, it was fun to experiment with many of the recipes.

Rating: 3
Summary: It's missing somethings
Comment: This book is OK but it is missing alot of recipes that Albanians serve here in the states. Examples: Culeche,Petla,talumba,mars ( sorry I don't know how to write Albanian )
