Summary: Tasty Recipes, just too few
Comment: This is the most realistic recipe book for Ethiopian cooking I have found. I was a bit taken back that it was so cheaply bound, but what it lacks in style it makes up in substance. Very great recipe for berbere the most important sauce in Ethiopian cooking, it is worth it for that recipe alone.

Summary: This is a pamphlet, not a book
Comment: I expected a cook book. This is a 4 page laminated pamphlet. It is way over priced for what it is.

Summary: Strong content -- a bit short
Comment: Author shows a clear command of the subject, but the book is somewhat short. It would do the author well to add another 10-20 pages to future copies of the book.
If you're looking for a quick list of some Ethiopian dishes you can make at home, this is a perfect book. I suggest anyone interested in real recipes that can actually be made in American kitchen's check this book out. If you're looking to master the ins and outs of Ethiopian cooking I suggest you look elsewhere.
The one thing I would have like to see more of is cultural discussion about how food is served etc. There is a page devoted to this, but I don't really feel well informed by this book.

Summary: Fine Way To Get Started With Ethiopian Tastes
Comment: Though properly described as a booklet rather than a tome, Finn's guide to Ethiopian-inspired cuisine is a fine introduction for the curious cook who wants to explore new tastes without spending too much on a large collection of recipes. The 11 recipes offer some basics - traditional flatbread, spiced oil and kale all make appearances - as well as hearty main dishes, all of which are vegetarian. (Carnivores shouldn't be dissuaded - any of the recipes offered can easily be used as a side for a meaty main course.) Finn's notes and asides offer practical advice in addition to fascinating cultural insights, and the book's "comb" binding allows it to lie flat, which is a real asset for those who need to refer to a recipe several times throughout the cooking process. Those looking for a definitive collection of Ethiopian recipes accompanied by glossy photos will probably want to look elsewhere, but beginning cooks or casual culinary adventurers on a budget will find what they're looking for here.

Summary: Great Ethiopian Recipes
Comment: For people who love to cook and want to try something new, I definitely recommend this book. Some of the recipes may seem complicated, but the directions are simple and easy to follow. It's not the kind of cookbook I would pull out for a quick meal, but definitely for a group of friends that I want to impress. The flatbread, lentil dishes, and sweet potato curry and some of my personal favorites. The recipes may be challenging and different for some people, but they are so rewarding.
