A recent addition to my kitchen library, this cookbook is more than a series of recipes, but a global exploration of how diasporas spread their cuisines and adopt them to the new location. Recipes are clear, and some of the cakes and cookies, but especially the Ethiopian challah are worth the price of the book.
