 Rating:  - Doesn't go into the depth of the other Culinaria books.I bought this after having bought some of the more classic Culinaria cook books (Italy and Spain) I thought this would have similar depth of the others but all it really did was skim over some of the more traditional dishes served in most European countries.

Not only cookbook, it tells you everything about the food in every European countries, from English to France, from Russia to Turkey, from Italy to Spain. A very good reference book about European cooking. It gives you some history backgrand about each country tranditional dishes and some useful recipes. After reading these books, I got a deep understanding in both wine and cheese. Highly recommand to everyone who like food! |
