I am not a great fan of cookbooks. I have a few and the
one's I have I cherish. (recipes, on the other hand are another thing entirely,
right?) But I do own some cookbooks. One series that inspires me and has proven
to be trustworthy is the World Kitchen books published in the United Kingdom by
none other than Murdoch Publishing (Rupert Murdoch, progenitor of FOX TV). They
are designed to feature the cuisine of a particular nation. I started with
Morocco, and then came Thailand, followed by Italy. I don't think they are in
print anymore and exploring them on Amazon can be a sobering experience! At one
point the only available copies of the France version were nearly $500.00.
So imagine my delight when I was able to acquire it recently
for less than $30 as new? I am thrilled and plan to spend quality time this
weekend exploring it's culinary gifts.
