Found this for a couple of bucks at a thrift store, a definite good deal. A treasure trove of wonderful ethnic recipes from around the world collected in one book. Much to my delight I even found a recipe for Pavlova, something I had not been able to do in my extensive collection of cookbooks. I especially enjoyed the section on Afternoon tea with recipes for teas, sandwiches and desserts.

I like the "a taste of the world (insert palette here)" section and I'm sure the recipes are fine, but I absolutely hate how it's organized- it isn't. First I'm reading about the Indonesian Palette, next thing I know I see a recipe for Minestrone soup. It's not organized by meal, or nationality. Not even the wines are in one section.

I really like this cookbook for the anecdotes about the around-the-world travels. However, in terms of recipes, there are only a few I use because they are not really practical for the most part...some of the ingredients are hard to find and some of the recipes don't appeal to a wide range of tastes, as is to be expected I suppose.

there are some very good recipes in here, but it is not as strong as the Silver Palate series.

This book has a TON of amazing ethnic recipes. The ones I've tried are easy enough, and delicious!

Some very interesting recipes are included in this cook book. I purchased the book so I could look for various international dishes to use when my family has our new tradition...a heritage smorgasbord Christmas dinner. When needing to figure out a Scandanavian main course, Irish appetizer, Scottish salad and German desert...this book was a God send. The recipes I have tried were all easy to follow and have all been "hits" and not "misses," thus far.

This is one of my all time favorite cookbooks, a gift from my father making it extra special. It is a collection of recipes from around the world and includes two recipes I have incorporated into everyday cooking and share with friends and family;the Moroccan Tea Loaf is made with organic pumpkin puree and the Mexican Frijoles Negros is made with cocoa powder.

This is a book to read. Fascinating, it tells the tale of regional cuisine and how it came to be based on the geography, economics, religion, and traditions of the areas. With text this absorbing the recipes pale in comparison.

Adore flipping through this book. Have made only a few things (rather rich and involved recipes) but they were fabulous! Apple crab salad rocks. The Moroccan Pumpkin loaf has been made several times.
