I think I would enjoy the stories behind the recipes. Love trying new things!
I love learning about food from other countries.
The recipes look very diverse and interesting, very delicious!
Ethnic cooking from her travels all over the world and of course written like a novel with family recipes. I love family recipes and ethnic cooking.
What appeals to me most is that she transports you to faraway lands with more than 100 recipes inspired by both familiar and traditional Western recipes because I don’t have to travel to enjoy those flavors, she has done that & put it all into this great cookbook!
I liked a review that talked about unique flavor combos. Looks like a fun book to cook with!
I love love love trying new recipes !!!! New cookbooks are an addiction 🙂
I love that it states she tells the stories behind the recipes. I’m an adventurer who has yet to travel out of the country but I don’t mind travelling through someone else’s stories…
I would love to win this for my wife. She loves trying foods from different parts of the world and she is an avid cookbook reader. Love the title of this book as well “Exotic”.
The recipes sound delicious – can’t wait to try the Israeli couscous salad with lemon, fennel, and basil – yum!
I’ve always wanted a cookbook with recipes from all around the world that simplified recipes enough for me to cook. I am easily overwhelmed by complex recipes and I can’t afford to get 15 new ingredients that I can only use in one recipe. I can’t tell from just the reviews if this book does avoid these problems, but if it does then I would love to have it.
I like that she takes more difficult recipes and makes them easy enought to do daily @ home.
I am intrigued by all the different flavors she uses! I def need to try new foods!
From the description on Amazon what caught my eye was the
globally inspired dishes
simple techniques
Another thing that peaked my interest was learning the behind the scene stories.
This looks amazing, I always want to try new recipies!
I like the detailed descriptions of spices and where to find them.
I like that it is from different parts of the world and that is easy because I love trying new recipes, but like it easy so it would be harder to ruin lol.
I love trying different recipes, using a variety of spices and I think this cookbook would have some great recipes!
I enjoy trying foods from other cultures and am looking forward to leisurely perusing this tome.
