Love trying new and exotic foods? Then this book is for you. This is not a recipe book per say, although there are a few recipes included in each chapter. This book is more of an encyclopedia of the foods of the world organized by country.
Each chapter includes a basic introduction to the foods of a specific region, a discussion of the country/region and it's history as it relates to food, the main ingrediants and dishes that dominate that regions cuisine, instructions on how to eat and order like a native and a few recipes.
You would have to go to another resource if you were interested in making the food yourself, but you can not beat this book for giving you a basic knowledge of all the different types of food and beverages that are out there to try.
The How to order and eat like a native sections are superb and cover and array of things including table manners, utensil (or non-utensil) usage (did you know that it may be considered less then polite to eat with your chopsticks in your left hand in China? I didn't) and intersting tips.
Love love love this book as will anyone with an interest in ethnic food. |
