Un libro stupendo!

This intriguing cookbook lends itself to opening your mind to different cultures of cooking, and catering for different dietary needs. It is set out first of all with an easy at-a-glance index, so that you can see whether the recipes are vegetarian, vegan, wheat- or gluten-free, and groups them into easy to find categories. The book is divided into eye-catching colour sections, which seems to be related to the colour of the food, and on each page, set out with a background of a patchwork collage of textures, handwritten notes and tips, are one or two recipes, some traditional or from diverse cultures, and with a thought-provoking anecdote on a recipe's derivation. Recipes are easy to follow with measurements often in cupfuls or spoonfuls, more in tune with the every day cook who doesn't want to unearth the kitchen scales.
