Review by Library Journal Review

The Elkaffas sisters, known for their popular Instagram account, Food Dolls, debut with a cookbook focusing on Mediterranean cooking, specifically recipes and a lifestyle influenced by their Egyptian heritage. The book offers no shortage of culinary focus on traditional Egyptian dishes and preparations, often featuring the sisters' relationships with each other and their parents. The cookbook includes recipes for simple dishes such as labneh and fattoush salad and extends to more involved dinner dishes including shawarma and kofta, plus enticing dessert options. Stunning and mouth-watering photography and periodic "tips for real life" sharing some of the authors' own experiences support their goal of providing a quick and simple, fresh and new approach. At the end of the volume, the sisters share tips and ideas for entertaining. VERDICT While this isn't a ground-breaking cookbook, it will please fans of the Elkaffases' social media presence and readers who are looking for beautifully showcased Mediterranean dishes.--Ron Block
