This book would be the perfect Christmas gift. It doesn’t conclusively document any one cuisine, and it’s not trying too. A good gift for the curious home cook.

Explore Global Flavors with the League of Kitchens Cookbook

Hi there,
I am super excited to share some thoughts on the League of Kitchens Cookbook with you.
I became aware of the League of Kitchens earlier this year. Lisa Kyung Gross has formed a group of cooking teachers who are immigrants to the U.S. and grandmothers.
Lisa formed this group of teachers because she wondered why, when she followed a recipe, it never tasted as good as if her Grandmother had made it. She then realized that there are secret ingredients to executing a recipe, and one of them is love.
An outgrowth of this cooking school is now a cookbook. And what a delight this cookbook is. The League of Kitchens Cookbook offers readers recipes and a journey through diverse culinary traditions. Each chapter immerses you in a different country's culture, providing authentic recipes and vibrant stories from home cooks.
This cookbook does an excellent job of making home cooking feel accessible and enjoyable. The authors have taken great care to break down recipes into manageable steps, and including beautiful photographs is inspiring.
Their stories in the cookbook add depth to each recipe, making the cooking experience feel more intimate and connected. This approach helps demystify global cuisines and fosters a sense of community among readers.
I chose to make a recipe named Sharltoka Yablokami for this review, which, translated from Russian, means "Guest at the Doorstep Apple Charlotte."

The recipe comes from Larisa Frumkin. Larissa was Born in Odessa but spent her childhood in Moscow. She became interested in cooking as a way of tolerating the food shortages. In 1974 Larisa found herself a stateless refugee to the U.S. with no right to return to the Soviet Union.
This is a delicious Charlotte. Its simplicity belies its complex flavor. The recipe can be found on page 361.

The League of Kitchens Cookbook is not just a guide to cooking; it's a visually stunning book. The layout, typography, and photography work in harmony to make it appealing. Each page invites readers to explore further, and it’s a great addition to any kitchen shelf or coffee table. Overall, it's a delightful blend of art and food that can inspire both novice and experienced cooks alike.

This is a great cookbook! The photos are great and the recipes are unique.The recipes I'm most excited to try are the Red Tomato Salsa, Mexican Ground Beef and Potatoes and Russian Guest At The Doorstep Apple Charlotte. Special Thank You to Lisa Kyung Gross, William Morrow and NetGalley for allowing me to read a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great cookbook with recipes from around the world. The women who contributed their recipes are spotlighted, and their recipes are detailed and pictured within the book. From starters to drinks and desserts, this details all kinds of recipes from around the world.

Loved that each section introduces you to the chef. The recipes look and sound delicious. I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes. Some of them sound a bit challenging, but worth the try. Great collection!

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

What a great cookbook! So much to learn from these traditional cooks and their family recipes. I loved the tips and instructions on how to properly prepare these meals from around the world.

Each recipe has servings, recipe blurb, ingredients, and directions and most recipes have a photo as well. In the blurb many recipes say what to serve with the dish which I enjoy.

I liked how the provided recipes for kitchen staples to have on hand. The directions are pretty lengthy, but clear in the ebook version.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I'm thankful to have gotten an arc copy of this. Lots of great recipes and beautiful stories to go with it!

Satisfying and simple, the recipes in The League of Kitchens Cookbook invite you into the homes and hearts of some of the most phenomenal generational cooks. Readers will feel like one of the family as they cook dishes that have lovingly been passed from generation to generation. A simple and elegant celebration of how food brings us together.

This cookbook is basically a cooking school for authentic cooking from Mexico, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ukraine, Greece, Afghanistan, India, Argentina, Japan, Uzbekistan, Lebanon, Iran, and Nepal. Women from these regions teach people how to cook classic dishes through the author’s school (in their own homes) and she has gathered their best recipes with extremely detailed instructions for each. There are many photos, though not for every recipe. There is no nutritional information. Many recipes are vegetarian and many are naturally gluten free, though many others will have to be adapted for those with different dietary needs. Most of the recipes require ingredients that may be trickier to source, but tips are given on how to find them and some ingredients can be omitted. A great resource to learn to cook truly traditional dishes.

I read a temporary digital loan of this book for review.

If you want one cookbook with an assortment of ethnic recipes from all over the world, this is it!
I loved having a constant variety from different countries. Kept all the recipes unique!
Also love how well written the instructions are, they may seem daunting (tons of steps shown) but this is just to try to guarantee your success in making the recipes. They want to make sure you know everything to make it the best way possible.
Highly recommend this book if you are interested in global flavors.

What a beautiful book filled with stories and legacies of the areas of the world featured. The photography was wonderful and the recipes looked so good. I’m glad I was able to get a sneak peak of this marvelous book,
