Editorial Reviews: With his million-copy bestseller How to Cook Everything, Mark Bittman made the difficult doable. Now he makes the exotic accessible. In this highly ambitious, accomplished, globe-spanning work, Bittman gathers the best recipes that people from dozens of countries around the world cook every day. And when he brings his distinctive no-frills approach to dishes that were once considered esoteric, America's home cooks will eagerly follow where they once feared to tread. In more than a thousand recipes, Bittman compellingly demonstrates that there are many places besides Italy and France to which cooks can turn for inspiration. In addition to these favorites, he covers Spain, Portugal, Greece, Russia, Scandinavia, the Balkans, Germany, and other European destinations, giving us easy ways to make dishes like Spanish Mushroom and Chicken Paella, Greek Roast Leg of Lamb with Thyme and Orange, Russian Borscht, and Swedish Äppletorte. Asian food now rivals European cuisine’s popularity, and this book reflects that: It’s the first to emphasize European and Asian cuisines equally, with easy-to-follow recipes for favorites like Vietnamese Stir-Fried Vegetables with Nam Pla, Pad Thai, Japanese Salmon Teriyaki, Chinese Black Bean and Garlic Spareribs, and Indian Tandoori Chicken. Nor is the rest of the world ignored: there are hundreds of recipes from North Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South America, too. All will be hits with home cooks looking to add exciting new tastes and cosmopolitan flair to their everyday repertoire. Shop locally, cook globally–Mark Bittman makes it so easy: • Hundreds of recipes that can be made ahead or prepared in under 30 minutes • Informative sidebars and instructional drawings explain unfamiliar techniques and ingredients • Fifty-two international menus, an extensive International Pantry section, and much more make this an essential addition to any cook’s shelf The Best Recipes in the World is destined to be a classic that will change the way Americans think about everyday food. It’s simply like no other cookbook in the world.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The Best Comment: Bitman makes cooking accessible -- no recipes with ingredients requiring trips to seven different stores - the recipes work and inspire you to try new recipes and techniques. One of the best cook books I've ever seen. Customer Rating: Summary: High class cuisine Comment: Excelent book, a round-the-world guide to high finesse cooking. As all Mark Bittman's books, it should be present in the house of all those interested in quality cooking, or if you want to surprise your girlfriend, boyfriend, friends or relatives. Excellent organized, very easy to understand and very clear. The book can be also considered as an international atlas of cooking. So, buckle up your seat belt and step on the gas! Prepare for the best! Bogdan Mihalcea, research scientist Bucharest, Romania Customer Rating: Summary: Big and beautiful Comment: I started using Mark Bittman's Best Recipes in the World and How to Cook Everything when my sister gave them to my daughter for her college graduation, and then my daughter went to East Timor where she could obviously not take two cookbooks that weighed 50 pounds each. She's now back (!) after four years and took the cookbooks with her to her new apartment. There was a brief painful period between their departure and the arrival of their replacements from Amazon, but now they're here and I'm perfectly happy again. I have to say his recipes are either good, great or fabulous. I've never made anything that came out badly. They're not so complicated that they're intimidating -- everything seems doable. I'll be retiring in about five years and I can see myself cooking my way through both books, ala Julia and Julie. One thing -- sometimes I think his instructions say to cook things longer than I think they actually need. Some day I'll try cooking things as long as he says (i.e. saute for 10 minutes -- I might saute for 3) and see if it's even better. Customer Rating: Summary: Best recipes in the world cookbook by Mark Bittman Comment: This is a great book for experienced cooks that like to add variety to their menus. The recipes are short and concise, fairly quick and easy. The downside is that the book has no pictures,,,its not that kind of book but more of an encyclopedia of recipes book. Instead of using 20 other books , all I need is one to have a variety of options to choose from. I am familiar with Bittmans's style and am very much at ease following his recipes. For people who think variety is the spice of life, its an incredible book! Customer Rating: Summary: Compare to Cooks Illustrated Comment: Bittman is great but this book is not, at least in the Kindle form. Before buying this I would recommend downloading the free Cook's Illustrated Cookbook and notice the difference between the Table of Contents and the Index. The Index is hyperlinked both for general subject AND for each individual recipe. Bittman's has no hyperlinked Index, only a Table of Contents, and this makes navigating around the cookbook very tedious. Buyer beware the lack of detailed hyperlinking in a reference book. Sorry I bought this.
