Description
A culinary journey around the world. Food is the social jelly of our lives. We make new friends and consolidate existing ones around meals; we use food to mark events in our lives; we share in our joys and sorrows by breaking bread together. There’s a connection between certain food and where it comes from. Can there be a North American thanksgiving without turkey and pumpkin pie? Or a Dragon Boat Festival in China without zhong-zi? Mexico without tapas? India without curry? This collection of signature dishes and their fascinating stories is perfect for anyone interested in food, and island life. 60 full colour recipes.
