Taste of Beirut by Joumana Accad is an incredibly comprehensive introduction to preparing Lebanese cuisine. Taste of Beirut is a love story of history, culture, and food simply blossoming chapter after chapter, after chapter. The passion for the food, culture, and people left me with the deep desire to whip out my passport and take a trip across the world.

By reading this book, I learned a lot about the Lebanese cuisine. With each recipe there is a high quality picture that accompanies it. Throughout the book there are explanations and translation of ingredients, essential do's and don'ts, helpful notes included with nearly every recipe. Also included is how to prepare and store commonly used ingredients to make cooking quicker and easier. Recipes are straightforward, and dishes look very flavorful.

I received this book from HCI Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
  
Super Meat Boy
Super Meat Boy
2015 | Action
Super Meat Boy is an exercise in patience. You may in fact deplore it in the first one or two hours due to its unforgiving gameplay and level design, but if you take the time to consume much of what it has to offer, you may just acquire a taste for it.
Critic- Joey Thurmond
Original Score: 8 out of 10

The Lobster (2015)
The Lobster (2015)
2015 | Comedy, Drama, Romance
Tries and occasionally succeeds in being uncomfortably offbeat (2 more)
Great actors doing a fine job of playing along with the weird
Interesting commentary on our societal goals - particularly love and companionship
Too much weird at times (3 more)
Starts out with glimmers of comedy but loses its way
Story is at its best when in The Hotel, and loses momentum when we leave
Running times drags
Just a tad too odd for my taste

humour can be subjective, what one person finds amusing another with find side-splittingly hilarious, some of the exchanges between the siblings Pico and Anna are amusing, others I can see they are meant to be but can't find the giggle inside. The illustrations are okay but colourful, the style is somewhat an acquired taste. Overall, I enjoyed the read but would be unlikely to reread in the future.
  
Mmmmm ..

Yum yum yum!!!
Ive been on the Paleo lifestyle for about 4 months now and the thing I miss most is something sweet as a treat. This book has so many great ideas, they are simple and easy to follow. For me they are easy to adapt to the Paleo eating style and they taste good !! Highly reccomend using this book to help cure your sweet fix :)

Okay

I read the first book in this series about three years ago and didn't do a re-read before starting this, which wasn't the best idea ever.

That being said, I remembered enough to get into the story--though it took me a little while--but I think my taste n books has changed a little since then and I'm not sure if I'm interested in finishing the series.
