Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Unique Gourmet Flavors for the AdventurerThis is one of my favorite books. Because every time I've made a recipe for an invitation, neither I nor my guests can stop raving about how fantastically delicious the flavors are. This is the book I refer to for great ideas, great reading, and to indulge my palate. Of special note, is the section on dinner themes for entertaining, starting on p. 171. And if you would like to see for yourself, try the following menu: Reggae Evening, which includes: Montego Red Pea Soup (one of the best soups I've ever had - complex flavors that will have your taste buds singing), Home-Style Jamaican Chicken (melts in your mouth juicy), La Bamba Rice and Rum Raisin Ice Cream (as with all homemade Ice Creams - better to eat within a few hours). This dinner is a great way to entertain a party of 6, you will be pleasantly surprised! Rating: - A Great International Culinary TourI enjoy cooking with this book a whole lot. The recipes are easy to follow, the variety is nice to see, and the extra tidbits of information are a nice touch for those "armchair" cooks out there. If you're looking for a pretty photo filled cookbook, this isn't for you, but you're into real content and excellent recipes, go for this book. I'm especially fond of the North African and Eastern European recipes. Rating: - A go to cookbookIt isn't exactly the definitive cookbook for whatever cuisine you are looking for but the recipes are a great starting point for trying new cuisines or exploring those you currently enjoy. Every recipe I have tried has come out great. It's really good for impromptu dinners or week night suppers because the ingredients are easy to find and the recipes are easy to follow. In addition you get a nice travelogue that accompanies the various cuisines. It's basically a fun cookbook to cook from and to read. Rating:  - Great, but title is misleadingI have always found Sheila Lukins' cookbooks to be excellent. While not always completely practical (but one could get around this by learning to substitute canned chicken stock for her homemade, etc.), the recipes always work, and 99% of the time they taste good. I have tried many recipes in this cookbook since I first got it 8 or so years ago, and I have been pleased with all of them (especially her soup recipes, which are always delicious). I have made many of them for company, and my guests have always enjoyed them. (The Summer tomato risotto is a favorite recipe when the temperature here begins to rise). That said, these are not all "authentic" recipes - this cookbook, I'm sure, was a Herculean effort in and of itself to put together, and tracking down truly authentic recipes would probably have been more work. This cookbook should really have been called "Restaurant Recipes from All Around the World and Recipes inspired by International Dishes" (or something to that effect.) If you are looking for truly authentic dishes, this is not the book to go to - I would simply pay for cookbooks by native chefs from the countries that you are interested in - but if you are interested in easy, delicious recipes by Sheila Lukins and her friends, a sort of continuation of the Silver Palate cookbook, then this is for you.
