With his million-copy bestseller How to Cook Everything,
Mark Bittman made the difficult doable. Now he makes the
exotic accessible.
In this highly ambitious, accomplished, globe-spanning
work, Bittman gathers the best recipes that people from
dozens of countries around the world cook every day. And
when he brings his distinctive no-frills approach to dishes
that were once considered esoteric, America's home cooks
will eagerly follow where they once feared to tread.
In more than a thousand recipes, Bittman compellingly
demonstrates that there are many places besides Italy and
France to which cooks can turn for inspiration. In addition
to these favorites, he covers Spain, Portugal, Greece,
Russia, Scandinavia, the Balkans, Germany, and other
European destinations, giving us easy ways to make dishes
like Spanish Mushroom and Chicken Paella, Greek Roast Leg
of Lamb with Thyme and Orange, Russian Borscht, and Swedish
Äppletorte.
Asian food now rivals European cuisine’s popularity, and
this book reflects that: It’s the first to emphasize
European and Asian cuisines equally, with easy-to-follow
recipes for favorites like Vietnamese Stir-Fried Vegetables
with Nam Pla, Pad Thai, Japanese Salmon Teriyaki, Chinese
Black Bean and Garlic Spareribs, and Indian Tandoori
Chicken. Nor is the rest of the world ignored: there are
hundreds of recipes from North Africa, the Middle East, and
Central and South America, too. All will be hits with home
cooks looking to add exciting new tastes and cosmopolitan
flair to their everyday repertoire.
Shop locally, cook globally–Mark Bittman makes it so easy:
• Hundreds of recipes that can be made ahead or prepared in
under 30 minutes
• Informative sidebars and instructional drawings explain
unfamiliar techniques and ingredients
• Fifty-two international menus, an extensive International
Pantry section, and much more make this an essential
addition to any cook’s shelf
The Best Recipes in the World is destined to be a classic
that will change the way Americans think about everyday
food. It’s simply like no other cookbook in the world.
