When it comes to cooking at home, the benefits are obvious: It’s usually cheaper than dining out, often costs less, and you get exactly what you want when you’re the one making it. But having a rotation of recipes that are more than just cheap and easy but also exciting enough to want to make and eat is a challenge. This cookbook offers the seasoned cook plenty to try from all around the world, including dishes from Mexico, Germany, Scandinavia, and Asia, among others. From breakfast all the way to a midnight snack, these simple, straightforward recipes will give readers the chance to flex their culinary muscles and put together something that’s satisfying to eat and unique enough to steal the show at any dinner party or potluck.
The focus of this cookbook is on fine dining, but that doesn’t mean that every dish is going to be rich and full of exotic, hard-to-find ingredients. There are plenty of options to choose from ranging from beginner-friendly fare to dishes that require a bit more technical skill, understanding, and preparation in advance. Instructions are direct and to the point, with the occasional photograph offering readers a little visual inspiration when selecting the right recipe for the occasion. In the beginning, each chapter focuses on regional cuisines from across the globe, but as the book goes on, the type of food becomes the focus, making it easy to find recipes for soups, sauces, cakes, or omelets. With a wide variety of available meals to try, this cookbook offers its owners a chance to try something new and exciting for months and months.
