<\/h4>\n
I have a confession to make. I am hooked on….scratch that….I am addicted to K-Dramas. Till a few months ago I did not know they existed even and now I have binge-watched almost all of them thanks to Netflix. I think I was living under a rock. Before you ask me what has that got to do with this book, let me tell you why.<\/h4>\n
Almost every episode has some kind of food and it looks delish. A friend of mine who resides in Korea recommended trying a few recipes from Maanghi who is a famous Korean Youtuber\/author. I tried a few of her recipes and the umami flavor won me over. I decided to get her book and try other recipes and I cannot explain in words how flavorful they are.<\/h4>\n

3. ARABIYYA: Recipes from the Life of an Arab in Diaspora-Reem Assil<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n
Arabiyya means “Arab Woman”.<\/h4>\n
I came across the author before I found this cookbook. I was moved by Reem’s own story. The journey through her Palestinian and Syrian roots and the celebration of alluring aromas and flavors of Arab food. As the recipes grow, one feels as if they are learning more and more about the Arab culture alongside.<\/h4>\n
The book has a lot of meat recipes and unfortunately, I don’t eat a lot of lamb or beef that much so I did not try that section but there are so many delish chicken and veggie options that one does not feel left out at all.<\/h4>\n

4.\u00a0Nom Nom Paleo: Let’s Go! – Michelle Tam & Henry Fong<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n
To set the record straight, I am not following a Paleo diet but I just love these cookbooks.<\/h4>\n
I have made their recipes even before they came out with their first cookbook. Cracklin Chicken was the recipe that won me over and I have lost count as to how many times I have made it and every time, without a doubt, it comes out PERFECT!<\/h4>\n
Each recipe is not only presented in a step-by-step manner but there are pictures alongside which makes cooking fun and easy. The best part is that recipes are labeled to accommodate certain sensitivities like nut-free, egg-free, nightshade-free, etc., as well as different eating styles like Keto friendly, Vegan\/Vegetarian, Whole 30, and so on.<\/h4>\n

5. THE FOREST FEAST MEDITERRANEAN-Erin Gleeson<\/em><\/a><\/h2>\n
This is by far the most artistic cookbook I have ever seen. Every page is filled with stunning photos and artistic drawings.I loved the artistic part so much that I first googled all the illustrations by Erin Gleeson and each one was more stunning than the previous one.<\/h4>\n
This is an excellent book for your coffee table filled with gorgeous travel photography.<\/h4>\n
Now on to the cookbook. Let me just say that this is the easiest cookbook anyone, and I mean any novice can follow.<\/h4>\n
It is more of an assembling than a cooking cookbook which gives you the courage to try all the recipes. Also, the recipes don’t call for a ton of oil, and or cheese are fairly light which is always good.<\/h4>\n
Since I am not vegetarian, I did add chicken and eggs to some recipes which elevated the taste to a whole new level.<\/h4>\n
Can I also add that the detailed travel planning and the stunning travel photography by the author will make you want to visit the places at your earliest.<\/h4>\n
