Let's Cook!
A culture’s cuisine reveals much about its history, natural resources, and
more. In this scrumptious series, each appetizing volume’s menu includes not
only easy-to-prepare recipes of a particular country but also the history,
celebrations, religious observances, climate, and geography that has made
these dishes a part of each cultural experience. Readers will love donning their
chef’s hat to immerse themselves in the cultures of Japan, France, Mexico,
China, India, and Italy. Step-by-step instructions, accompanying photographs,
and kitchen hints help ensure that every recipe, including tamales, garam
masala, and chocolate mousse, will become a new favorite!
