Overview

Until recently intrepid travellers Chris and Carolyn Caldicott owned and ran the World Food Café in London's Covent Garden. In this classic vegetarian cookbook – a must-have for foodies and wanderlusters - they bring together delicious recipes from around the world. They also include travellers' tales that describe how the recipes were discovered and their history. The book features dishes adapted from recipes gathered in the Middle East and Africa; India, Nepal and Sri Lanka; Southeast Asia and China; and Latin America. Each section begins with an introduction to the food of the region - the ingredients, the customs, and the ways in which they are cooked. A selection of recipes follows, with suggestions for variations, advice on how to combine dishes in menus and, often, the story behind the recipe.
