In this cookbook for Americans, George Mardikian reveals the culinary secrets that made his establishment so famous. The recipes are for Armenian food, prepared in the Armenian fashion, but seasoned to the American palate. The dishes described are exotic and different, but thrifty, healthful, and easy, even for amateur chefs, to prepare. His food is sophisticated enough for parties, but economical and well balanced enough to serve the whole family.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Mardikian is an institution in San Francisco. No visit there is complete without a meal in his famous restaurant--and it is a lost opportunity if you don't meet the great chef himself. This book is partly autobiography--partly reminiscences of San Francisco--and largely recipes of specialties not only of Omar Khayyam's but of eastern dishes known to too few American housewives, but perfectly practicable, even in many cases--in these rationed days. Particularly appealing are some of the suggestions for using meats in unusual ways, which make possible a deluxe flavor for cuts that can be found. An off-the-track cookbook."</p><p>--Kirkus Reviews</p><br>
