Customer Reviews

Good cookbook

Though I haven't cooked anything from the book yet, I marked dozens of interesting recipes in the book. They are unique without being weird, and they don't often have ingredients I won't be able to find in local grocery stores. Most didn't look time-consuming to make. I liked adding a cookbook to my collection that lists recipes by country and included a wide variety of countries around the world.

Comprehensive Ethnic Cooking for Idiots

This is a great cookbook! If you love to make foods from all over the world but don't want to spend a whole weekend on one entree, this is the book for you - Pan Am stewardesses, circa 1954, were asked to provide a small number of recipes for appetizers, entrees, vegetables, desserts and drinks, from the routes they flew, so there are foods from literally all over the world. Easy to make, even easier to eat - yum! Whenever I have company, this is the book I use to prepare meals, and no one has ever complained - plus they always ask for seconds. And don't miss the fabulous introduction, wherein the editor, Myra Waldo, warns her readers of 50 years ago that they will be running into strange ingredients in these recipes that they have rarely used before - things like garlic, onions and rice! Plus, the line drawing illustrations are absolutely charming. Buy this cookbook, you won't regret it!
