Review by Horn Book Review

These introductions to world cuisines have been updated to include low-fat and vegetarian options. Introductory material focusing on culture and cookery will be useful for school projects. Color photos and definitions of cooking terms and unusual ingredients will aid novice cooks. The recipes themselves are for the most part too complex for junior cooks to tackle solo but should whet their appetites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Easy Menu Ethnic Cookbooks titles: [cf2]Desserts around the World, Cooking the Australian Way, Cooking the Austrian Way,[cf1] and [cf2]Cooking the North African Way[cf1].] (c) Copyright 2010.
