365 Foreign Dishes: A Foreign Dish for Every Day in the Year by Unknown
Starts with table of contents where recipes are in a monthly chapter. I like this idea because I'd normally not be having watermelon in November but summer months.
Under each month are the recipes, not in your typical format.
It lists the title sometimes the country comes from. Gives you ingredients are included and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat, low sugar and fresh vs. canned items.
Tells you how to mix and serve with other items.
NO pictures and NO nutritional information but wow what a book, such a collection of older recipes.
Might be hard to find a rabbit or other animal they mention to make into a stew. Other older books are highlighted at the end.
