As an amateur cook, I love to try out new recipes. Well, to start this post, I decided to begin with one of my all time favorites. This cookbook is called "The Around the World Cookbook" and was first published in the US by Lorenz Books in 1998. The ISBN number is 1840381116 (if you are interested).
What's so great about this one is that it covers many of the world's cuisines. One the title page, it claims that it has "over 350 authentic recipes". As far as I can tell, the recipes that I have made out of the book are truly authentic. Each section is broken into country or region; Africa, China, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Middle East, Morocco, Italy, Spain, France, North America, Cajun & Creole, Caribbean, and Mexico. Flipping through the book, you'll find plenty of beautiful illustrations and fantastic recipes with easy to find ingredients.
A couple of my favorite recipes in this book are "Beef Madras" which is a Southern Indian curry and "Galveston Chicken" in the North American section. If you are lucky enough to be an owner of this book, you will enjoy it enough to come back to it many times for authentic cuisines of the world!
