Expanding Your Culinary Horizons,
By Susan Shaffer (Boca Grande, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Regional Cuisines: Food Culture and Cooking (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book for anyone interesting in going beyond the basics and really understanding the underpinnings of regional cuisines. Not only are the tantalizing recipes presented in a simple, concise manner, but the information offered about the ingredients, the culture behind the recipes and wonderful photographs will appeal to a wide range of those who love to cook. This book is fast becoming one of my standard references in the kitchen - a real inspiration to the practiced chef or the culinary novice.

Impressive books for chefs,
This review is from: American Regional Cuisines: Food Culture and Cooking (Hardcover)
This book has been very carefully produced. The recipes are written with much detail, clear hints, and color coded information. The photographs are wonderful. One gets a very good idea of how the prepared dish will look. This book is aimed at chefs and those learning to cook in culinary schools. However, anyone with an interest in delicious flavors and easy to follow recipes will enjoy having this book ready to browse in the kitchen. The historical paragraphs and maps give just enough information about the origins of many of the cooking styles.
