Has anyone come across/had any experiance with Sonia Uvezian's books?

Hi all, 

 

I recently came across Sonia Uvezian, on Amazon. I had never heard of her before, but on the face of it she seems like an excellent cookbook writer. However, Amazon reviews seem a bit sketchy, and a google search doesnt really reveal all to much about her. Before I go ahead and buy yet another cookbook, I wondered if anyone has ever seen or heard anything about her?

 

Her books include: Recipes and Rememberances from an Eastern Mediterranean Kitchen (The book I'd be looking to buy) and the Cuisines of Armenia.

One of my first cookbooks was written by her ... I may still have it stored away somewhere.  It was a book about salads, and it was both useful and enlightening at the time.  Thinking back, with many years of cooking and recipes behind me now, I'd say the book was a little simplistic, but for a beginning cook it was quite helpful and informative.
