    This causes iBooks to to crash after the introductory video when you open the book. Such a shame that they haven’t fixed this.

    Issues reported 3 years ago are still there. I just downloaded this book and having lots of issues viewing it on my iPad. Not fair to rate the book poorly because of this but they really should fix the technical problems. Very hard to navigate.
  • Love the food, hate the format

    I purchased this as an iBook. Though the opening video loads the moment I go to look at recipes ibooks immediately shuts down. My iPad is up to date so not sure why this is an issue.

    For anyone who has visited Jerusalem, this cookbook is a reminder of the delicious foods shared by both Arab and Jewish culture. I have needed a book like this to reproduce the healthy food joyed during visits to this delightful city. The videos, photos and historical insights make this more than 'just a cookbook'.
