REVIEW
Famous Dishes from Around the World/Platos famosos de todo el mundo
by Stephanie Maze
Alphabetically set out from America to Uzbekistan 30 national dishes with recipe, history of the dish and nutritional information presented. Healthier options are provided as well. The book provides the recipes in both English and Spanish with illustrations that made my mouth water. I learned a few new-to-me tips: soak bamboo skewers in water overnight to help keep them from burning on the grill AND to wash cast iron not with soap but with water, oil and salt instead. The recipes chosen were those that the editors believed most representative of those brought to America and most well known. To provide all of the recipes would require many volumes, I believe. I enjoyed learning a bit more about some of the recipes I have eaten in the past and really enjoyed learning that the origins of some recipes were not actually in the country that has claimed them their own.
Thank you to NetGalley and Moonstone Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.

English/Spanish. With well-known ethnic recipes that are both tasty and healthy, this book seeks to pay homage to immigrants through their culinary contributions to the United States. Compiled by lovers of good ethnic food who have lived all around the world, it features 30 well-known dishes that are identified with specific countries worldwide, such as Colombian Sancocho, French Ratatouille, Indian Vegetable Korma, Mexican Fajitas, Moroccan Tagine with Chicken, Greek Moussaka (with Turkey), Polish Lentil Stew, Indonesian Satay with Peanut Sauce, and Spanish Paella. The book includes background information about each dish, calorie and nutrition breakdowns of each recipe, and sections called “Cooking Tips and Tricks” and "Healthy Hints for the Home Cook." Famous Dishes is timely given our country’s current political state of affairs, and that it provides an engaging blend of both good food, ethnicity and health.
