About this listen
Since the beginning of time, food is what brought us all together. But as the human race evolved over time, our desire for unique culinary experiences grew to an insatiable intrigue to be transported to exotic places and enjoy a rich tapestry of taste. A taste sparked by the leaders of the culinary renaissance of their times, a taste that has been maintained through history, a taste that emerged into a tradition and was perfected from generation to generation. That is exactly why, beyond any stars and culinary degrees, it's always the most passionate cook who will make the tastiest meal.
Terrapetti's World Flavors publication is your passport for the tastiest homemade meals around the globe. A map guiding you into the history, the context and the recipes for the most typical dishes of each country. Foods have crossed borders into other countries and regions, they've conquered frontiers faster than wars and are the inspiration and roots of new emerging tastes and culinary techniques, all of which you will be able to experience through this book.

Whilst it might seem easier to follow a recipe if it is written out for the cook to see and check as ingredients are gathered and and worked together, in fact this audible presentation actually works well as it is not a book of cooking perfection but more one of enjoyment of experimentation and discovery: perfect for the cook who is not tied to precise measurements. After all, this is about home cooking and so each meal will have it's own differences from home to home.
Fascinating little facts abound in the introduction to each dish, such as Bolivia is the only South American country where MacDonalds went bust. Perfect for readers who enjoy collecting trivia bits and pieces.
This cannot have been an easy book to narrate given that there is no story as such, no conversation to give added texture and it is littered with a multitude of unusual and often difficult to pronounce foreign names or phrases. Denise Kahn is a perfect choice, her pleasant to hear voice is very easy on the ears, she reads with good intonation and understanding and an ability to tackle all of the different food titles with aplumb. She sustained this reader's interest despite the quick changing areas being presented, and the formal structure of the book.
My grateful thanks to the rights holder of Homemade Food, who gifted me a complimentary copy, at my request through FAFY. I enjoy cooking and experimenting with food and this book should appeal to those who, like me, rarely bother with precise measurements and are actively excited by improvisation. It is a great source of ideas. Additionally, even for non cooks, this fast world-wide trip of local tastes and brief histories, should prove fascinating. It is just a shame that scents cannot somehow be incorporated.
A little price of some far away place at home.
