Product Description The first volume of Elisabeth Rozin's acclaimed trilogy on world foods, Ethnic Cuisine is a unique and practical introduction to the exciting flavors of thirty international cultures. The distinct taste and appeal of many ethnic cuisines comes from the unique combinations of flavor principles--olive oil, lemon, and oregano equals Greek, for example. With this step-by-step guide you can master the preparation of mouth-watering foods from regions as diverse as the Yucatan, Indonesia, Northeast Africa, Central Asia, and Provence. Whether you are preparing traditional ethnic recipes or creating your own, Ethnic Cuisine will prove to be an indispensable guide. "Perhaps the most interesting book about the different cuisines around the world." --Craig Claiborne, The New York Times "A rhapsody of ethnic flavors. Use it as a cookbook, use it as a reference, or use it to come up with your own variations of ethnic dishes!" -- Oakland TribuneCustomer reviews Charming by .. Dwight (USA)
no pictures and that doesn't bother me
this book reminds me of Lorna Sasser's vegetarian cookbook
the recipes are the author's interpretations and are collected according to region and then by ingredient
The best cookbook I own by .. Kevin B. Cohen (Denver, CO)
This is the best cookbook I own. I've had it for over 11 years, and still use it regularly. An unusual feature of this cookbook is that it explains the principles that give cuisines of different areas their distinctive flavors. The idea is that you can categorize cuisines in terms of (1) their primary ingredients, (2) the cooking techniques that are used, and (3) the types and combinations of flavorings that are added. (Somewhere along the line the author must have studied structural anthropology.) A later section of the book talks about how to combine these elements creatively. One thing about this cookbook that must be mentioned is that the recipes work. I can't recall ever making something from this book that didn't turn out. The directions are very clear. There's a lot of great stuff in here; I'll mention just a few stand-outs: - mu shu whatever
- ful gobi (cauliflower curry)
- Provencal bean and sausage soup
- vegetables Provencal au gratin
- Spanish codfish soup
- Italian meatballs
Single most useful book on ethnic cuisine by .. Rebecca Menes (Alexandria, VA United States)
I love Elizabeth Rozin's cookbooks -- her recipes are as close to foolproof as one can get in an uncertain world. But this book is much more than the sum of its recipes. Rozin breaks out the "flavor principals" that make French cooking taste French and Vietnamese cooking taste Vietnamese. Her insights have helped me both as a cook and as a diner to cook better, to plan menus so that the dishes complement each other, and to enjoy restaurants more, too.

Especially when stressful and potentially humiliating tryouts are involved? The Lutherville, Maryland, Athletics are a ball team composed of plumbers, demolition guys, investment bankers, security guards and salesmen who play for the love of the game. How their passion for the game of baseball affects their lives is the subject of this book. Focusing on Smith's lifelong love affair with sport of baseball, this volume provides a firsthand account of a season in the Baltimore County, Over-30 league from tryouts to the final game.
