Previous viewers have aleady given much valuable information of this DVD. I would like to add that Helen Corey is absolutely charming and looks like she's having so much fun in the kitchen. I have a favorite Lebanese restaurant that I drive over 200 miles to visit, and always wanted to know how to make that fabulous food, but everything looked so complicated. I love to cook, but I don't like to spend hours in the kitchen. Helen Corey makes each of these recipes look quite simple. I felt much less intimidated by my cookbook recipes after being able to literally see her going through the steps of each recipe. It was like being in the kitchen with a friend and seeing each new recipe from start to finish. This is a wonderful DVD. --Rachel Himes, Pa.

The newest cooking DVD by Helen Corey is one of the most informative classes I've ever been to. She not only cooks the favorite foods of Syria and Lebanon, but gives tips and techniques on ingredients and methods of preparation. Her methods are fail-proof as she makes cooking these dishes easy in this 70 minute show which keeps you attentive to details. I never realized you could make the most delicious Yogurt starting out in your micro-wave oven. It's the best! Likewise, flat bread on the grill with a tasty yogurt cheese. And now I'm making fabulous ricotta cheese pastries for my diabetic friends. And then seeing her in the dining room of her home with a lavish spread of all the foods from Baba ghanouj, to Kibby, Spinach & Meat Pies to the tantalizing Baklawa makes anyone's mouth water. This DVD along with Helen's cookbook are classics in the Middle Eastern field of cooking. Anyone trying these foods will get dazzling results. --C. Shahady, Fla.

"fascinating to watch an expert work with filo dough" Kathie Smith, Canton, O. Repository "I have both of Helen Corey's The Art of Syrian Cookery and Healthy Syrian & Lebanese Cooking which are my proud possessions. A friend presented me with Helen's newest 70 minute DVD cooking show and I'm so pleased with it. In my opinion, it should be on the food network. She gives every detail to buying, by step by step preparation, tips and techniques that answer any questions you might have in preparing Middle Eastern foods. It's entertaining with Arabic music in the background and her finale with presentation of all the favorite foods in her dining room. Helen knows how to keep the public aware of her culture. Her books and artistic cooking show are gems." --ingreek@Iquest (Irene Doney)

It goes hand in hand with my cookbooks. Helen knows how to keep the public aware of her culture. Her books and artistic cooking video are gems.
