Round the World in Eighty Dishes

Round the World in Eighty Dishes ‘“ The World Through the Kitchen Window by Lesley Blanch is a delicate blend of travel anecdotes and recipes inspired by the writer’™s frequent trips to destinations around the globe during the first half of the twentieth century. Lesley Blanch, best known for The Wilder Shores of Love and as editor of Vogue, first wrote this book in 1956. The contrast between the post-war restrictions on travelling and eating experienced in England with the writer’™s fortune is apparent. Yet, Blanch’™s unassuming style and appreciation of her good fate makes this a delightful reading, or better, a skilfully painted view through the kitchen window of distant places.The 80 recipes will lead you on a tour to sample authentic local dishes accompanied by personal witty, amusing and evocative tales of the countries where they were savoured, and cherished. You will find familiar as well as unusual recipes and ingredients: from Cheese Muff from Bavaria and Kaalilaatikko, a sort of pork and herring casserole from Finland to Fouja Djedad, apples stuffed with chicken from Saudi Arabia and Four Pyramids Salad from Mexico.Illustrated throughout with drawings by the author this is a truly precious book, preserving the flavours of dishes and places but also of an era long gone.
