I love how this book is a good heavy book, full of colour , full of foods that I haven't heard of it seen but would now love to try. For anyone that is into food and recipes or learning about other cultures and what they eat then I would recommend this book as an easy introduction into the world's recipes. It is also a great book to teach children that there is more to food than just burger and chips or pizza....although there is nothing wrong with those goods in moderation also. The author takes you around the world with history and geography of different countries so you can learn quite a lot between these pages..it makes for a very interesting read. It also delves into how we get our cupboard staples...sugar..chocolate etc etc. I shall definitely be having a look in supermarkets and shops for some different ingredients as it has inspired me to try out some new recipes with my family
