If you want to stun everybody with your culinary genius without actually having to be a culinary genius, World Food Cafe is the book you need. Our family's all-time favourite, it is an innovative collection of easy-to-prepare vegetarian recipes gathered from the Middle East and Africa; India, Nepal and Sri Lanka; Southeast Asia and China; and the Americas. Compiled by intrepid travellers Chris and Carolyn Caldicott, who own and run the famous World Food Cafe in London's Covent Garden, the recipes are interspersed with superb photographs of their places of origin, as well as mouthwatering images of the dishes themselves. The authors also entertain us with details of local food customs and, often, the story behind the recipe.
