About this book

This book contains many additional recipes from the various countries, as well as full-colour, step-by-step instructions on how to prepare the authentic, favourite national dishes. In some cases, where the foreign ingredients are difficult to obtain, we have used more readily available substitutes. You will delight your family and friends with these dishes. Cook them to bring back happy holiday memories, to give an authentic touch to a party with a theme, or just to conjure up visions of a hot, sunny country on a dull English day. Bon appetit!
