Sounds quite good.
Are you going to try out the recipes?
Since I can am hearing ready cook meals and I no longer have strength to do much cooking. I might try eating it the next time I find it. This book is a good one to learn about Armenian cooking. It looks like a love triangle is starting. The motorcycle and boy remains so much of Colleen Harris’s Ramo. The bad boy motorcycle is beginning to show up in a few cozy that I am reading.
Enjoyed your review.
