Amy, I think this cookbook would be very interesting to peruse.  If it were 
added to the collection, I would certainly read it.  I love to read cookbooks 
as well as to make recipes from them.

  Hello Booksharians and friends,

  I recently got an extraordinary Cookbook which I wanted to see if anyone 
wanted scanned and to let people who like Cookbooks  know exists. 

      The Book of Jewish Food : An  Odyssey from Samarkand to New York : With 
more than     800 Askenazi and Sephardi Recipes  by Claudia Roden

  I know one need not be Jewish to like Jewish cooking and this France - A Mix 
of Alsatian, "Vieille France," Eastern Europe and North Africa; Israel, Echoes 
from Ancient Baghdad, Medieval Spain and the Ottoman World; Then on to 
Salonika, Georgia, Yemen, the three types of Jewish communities in India, 
Babylonia, Tunisia, and much more. The ways in which the Laws of Leviticus 
adapted to the culture and available foods and tastes of the regions is 
seemingly endless and the foods will make your mouths water. 

  Please let me know if you want me to scan the book.  I will not add it to my 
to be scanned list if no one wants me to scan it.  

  For my friends who do not belong to Bookshare I send this so you will know 
the book exists and can get it if you want it from your local library and 
bookstore or contact me for more information. Happy dining.

  Amy
