Bored with the same old recipes? I found the equivalent of The Joy of Cooking from countries all over the world. I spent months researching because I wanted to know which cookbook is on *every* kitchen shelf in as many countries as I could find. I've been cooking for over twenty years, but these books have exposed me to so many new ideas in the kitchen! My weekly menus have gotten interesting, that's for sure! Any one of these books will provide you with a mountain of ideas for new, interesting recipes. Enjoy!
Even just looking at the pictures in this book makes me feel like I'm in a far off land.
