From celebrated food writer Mark Kurlansky, a savory trip
across the globe for parents and kids, with delicious and
accessible recipes and tidbits both cultural and
historical.
Once a week in the Kurlansky home,
Mark spins a globe and wherever his daughter's finger lands
becomes the theme of that Friday night's dinner. Their
tradition of International Night has afforded Mark an
opportunity to share with his daughter, Talia--and now the
readers of International Night--the recipes, stories,
and insights he's collected over more than thirty years of
traveling the world writing about food, culture, and
history, and his charming pen-and-ink drawings, which appear
throughout the book.
International Night is
brimming with recipes for fifty-two special
meals--appetizers, a main course, side dishes, and dessert
for each--one for every week of the year. Some are old
favorites from Mark's repertoire, and others gleaned from
research. Always, they are his own version, drawn from
techniques he learned as a professional chef and from many
years of talking to chefs, producers, and household cooks
around the world. Despite these insights, every recipe is
designed to be carried out--easily--by any amateur chef, and
they are designed to be completed with the assistance of
children.
Mark and Talia invite you and your family
into their kitchen, outfitted with overflowing packets of
exotic spices and aromas of delicacies from Tanzania and
Kazakhstan to Cuba and Norway. From there, recipes and
toothsome morsels of cultural and historical information
will fill your bellies and your minds, and transport you to
countries all around the world.
