Not only do I own this terrific book, I'm in it! However, this really is a super collection of recipes and there is something for everyone between the covers. I particularly like the idea that this is not simply a collection put together by one author but, rather, is a widely eclectic collection of food influenced by a variety of cultures. Well worth a place on any kitchen bookshelf!
