We’re having a hard time looking at books “long distance” on Amazon trying to find a better book for recipes around the world. A lot of what we have available to us here just has foods from Mexico, China and Italy. Anyone know of any resources that might have a wider selection of recipes? Peru? Bangladesh? Lebanon? the Philippines? Ghana? We are pretty adventurous in the kitchen, but we do have resource restrictions from living in the rural Midwest. Hard to find octopus or fresh lemongrass. Does anyone have a resource with a broad selection of recipes?
My sister probably has it somewhere. I know it didn’t have any weird ingredients in it. I know the recipe for Canada focuses on maple syrup, it covers several countries in Latin America and Africa (some from each continent, since it was published by UNICEF), and the recipes were of varying difficulty. The hardest thing to find, depending on your local grocery stores, may be shrimp for a prawns recipe. Haiti was a rice and beans dish, USA was graham cracker cake, France was croque monsieur.
Gee, I remembered more than I thought.
HTH,

Another one is “Extending the Table” by Schlabach and Burnett. Here’s a link: http://www.amazon.com/Extending-Table-World-Community-Cookbook/dp/083613561X/ref=pd_sim_b_2. (hopefully that will work) You can get a look inside on amazon.
My friend has it and it looked really good. I’m hoping to buy it myself once I have the money. It’s along the lines of the “More With Less” cookbook.

I was going to suggest Extending the Table too. I’ve had it for many years and some of our family favorites are from it. It is definetely heavier on the Asian, African, and Latin American than say European type recipes, but with more variety than many other interntional cookbooks – I think many were contributed by missionaries or others who lived overseas for a time. The recipes are fairly simple and don’t call for a lot of exotic ingredients although there may be some “new to you” spices if you’ve not done a lot of ethnic cooking. Many of the recipes are meatless or use smaller amounts of meat (reflecting the way average people eat in most of the non-Western world.) Anyhow, I really like it and would highly reccommend it.
