Book Reviews of The World in your Kitchen: Vegetarian recipes from Africa, Asia and Latin America for Western kitchens
Book Review: Global Flavors
Summary: 5 Stars
"The World in Your Kitchen" is an excellent cookbook for the vegan, vegetarian, or person on a budget. Troth Wells has easy recipes, and introduces readers to unfamiliar cuisines such as those of El Salvador, Tanzania, and Ecuador. It's not the usual vegetarian recipes from China, Mexico, and India. It's exotic without being intimidating. The recipes are delicious. There's a forward from Glenda Jackson,and two recipes from cinematic star Julie Christie.
Recommended recipes- Ecuadorian potato pancakes with peanut sauce, Chilean bean&pumpkin stew (served atop spaghetti with fresh basil),Malaysian coconut curry with peanut sauce (from Julie Christie),Cambodian carrot stir fry (again,from Julie Christie),Tanzanian beans with coconut&cilantro,South African bean&tomato brede (stew),and beans with cocoa from Sierra Leone (think of an African mole)
There are some minor drawbacks to the cookbook-
1)No pictures of recipes.
2)Use of British terms like courgette,aubergine,haricot beans,cowpeas,and "pancakes" for enchiladas. And British measurements can be confusing.
3)Some dubious politics blaming the World Bank for Zimbabwe's dire situation,and dubious philosophy from Peter Singer,who considers animals human,but is okay with euthanasia and infanticide.
Again,these drawbacks are so minor they don't affect the rating. It's still a great cookbook.
"The World in Your Kitchen" benefits fair trade. It's got excellent,delicious,easy recipes. It brings the world into the kitchen!
