In Her Kitchen


IN HER KITCHEN
Stories and recipes frm Grandmas Around the World
by Gabriele Galimberti

Food is our culture, our history, our family.   This is a great gift for anyone who loves to eat, to travel and learn.

Shelley Harwayne prepares cholent, a traditional Jewish stew that cooks overnight and can be served hot on the Sabbath because you can leave the stove on overnight.  Maria Luz Fedric makes a Honduran Iguana with rice and beans.   Regina Lifumbo makes caterpillars in tomato sauce.  Roasted spiced chicken, wild Tuscan boar stew, twice cooked pork, chicken tagine, swiss chard and ricotta ravioli with meat sauce -- you can travel the around the world with the dishes you'd never make, dishes you'd love to sample, dishes that take hours of love.  This book is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and evoke warm and fuzzy feelings as these celebrate women, our roots and the room everybody loves the best, the kitchen.

The photographs are stunning.  Each grandmother is photographed with the ingredients comprising her dish, and the finished dish is also beautifully photographed.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review
