Success with Recipes

‘I dislike feeling at home when I’m abroad’, said Bernard Shaw, his eyes fixed disapprovingly on those English tourists who spend their holidays searching for a good cup of tea and some plain, decent cooking. But what the master of paradox failed to mention was the delight of feeling abroad when we are at home.

The easiest way to carry yourself back to some favourite haunt is to recreate at home the dishes you enjoyed there. Or you can transport yourself to countries you have never even visited by sampling their cuisine. There is a tremendous variation in the food styles of the different nations of the world. Add to this the diverse regional cuisines of France, Italy, the United States and China, to name just a few, and you will have some idea of the delights that await you in this book.
