I had the opportunity to browse this book in a store before making the online purchase.

This book is great. It's not to hard to follow and the directions don't feel wordy. Many recipes feature ingredients that are not hard to find. But of course, being a book of recipes from around the world, you will come across some unfamiliar ingredients that will require shopping at a specialty store.

But that's the fun of this book. It features a tidbit on the recipes so you can transport yourself somewhere else through the foods of the locals. Besides being a great cookbook, it's also a great read. The pictures capture the environment of the food's origin. I've never been this satisfied with a cookbook purchase. This is a must-buy!

If you are looking for different things from around the world to make for dinners, this is the book for you. Even for a " beginner" like myself, this book is great.

I absolutely adore this cookbook. Along with wonderful recipes from around the world, the book includes pictures and educational articles on food types and the world usage. Each recipe is labeled with its origin, and while the recipes aren't so "out there" to scare an intermediate chef, many do utilize ingredients or processes that will delight someone looking for something out of the ordinary. The pictures are fantastic and allow this book to be a great "coffee-table" book to spark a guest's interest. Definitely a must buy!

A beautiful book that is a nice read with interesting information, great recipes and beautiful pictures. A great coffee table type book. Glad I bought it.

I saw this book at the William Sonoma store and put it on my wish list. I stayed in the store looking through the books and the recipes. I tried to memorize many of them with intent to make them at home. The book being $50 it was going to have to wait. I could not justify buying another cookbook. This one however, was so interesting and different I had to figure out a way to get it. Then I remembered Amazon when I purchased two other books there for half the going price and thought I'd see if they had it. Sure enough they did and the condition is perfect! I love the book and I have told many friends about Amazon. I'm very happy!
