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.
