Riassunto

From celebrated food writer Mark Kurlansky, a savory trip across the globe for parents and kids, with delicious and accessible recipes and tidbits both cultural and historical.

Once a week in the Kurlansky home, Mark spins a globe and wherever his daughter's finger lands becomes the theme of that Friday night's dinner. Their tradition of International Night has afforded Mark an opportunity to share with his daughter, Talia--and now the readers of International Night--the recipes, stories, and insights he's collected over more than thirty years of traveling the world writing about food, culture, and history, and his charming pen-and-ink drawings, which appear throughout the book.

International Night is brimming with recipes for fifty-two special meals--appetizers, a main course, side dishes, and dessert for each--one for every week of the year. Some are old favorites from Mark's repertoire, and others gleaned from research. Always, they are his own version, drawn from techniques he learned as a professional chef and from many years of talking to chefs, producers, and household cooks around the world. Despite these insights, every recipe is designed to be carried out--easily--by any amateur chef, and they are designed to be completed with the assistance of children.

Mark and Talia invite you and your family into their kitchen, outfitted with overflowing packets of exotic spices and aromas of delicacies from Tanzania and Kazakhstan to Cuba and Norway. From there, recipes and toothsome morsels of cultural and historical information will fill your bellies and your minds, and transport you to countries all around the world.

Recensione:

Imagine a cookbook that is both a global anthropology adventure and cooking lesson all at once. International Night stimulates a sense of culinary wanderlust--with a playful, refreshing, and authoritative point of view, all of which makes you want to get in the kitchen and cook!

(Danny Meyer, restaurateur, and author, Setting the Table)

Mark Kurlansky, double your daughter's allowance. Talia has concocted a far-reaching, mouth-watering global culinary trip, and graciously allowed you to share billing and lick the spoons. (Lemony Snicket)

Both teens and adults will find the brief country profiles enlightening, and a bibliography of international cookbooks provides fine fodder for a family library. (Publishers Weekly)

A fun idea, an exciting read, and a lot of recipes you'd probably not try otherwise--what's not to like? (Library Journal)

This is an early favorite . . . because of its rating system for difficulty, its range and the way in which Talia's notes are spot-on. Everybody can learn, and everybody will eat. (Washington Post)

Packed with fascinating tidbits and mouthwatering recipes, International Night is a hands-on culinary treat for the whole family. (Shelf Awareness)

The Kurlanskys' cookbook engages the entire family in the kitchen . . . Everyone can actually win at dinnertime if given some power over what's on the table. (Edible Manhattan)

A lively guide to enjoying global cuisine at home. (Wall Street Journal)

The Kurlanskys' recipes vary in difficulty, and every night is accompanied by a Kurlanskyopedia entry, if you will, about the place. I don't think I'll ever make the soup called oyster zousui, but I liked reading about the Japanese distrust of that raw mollusk, and it was nice to find, between the same covers, good recipes for Afghan chickpea meatballs, sauerbraten and Mongolian hot pot. (The New York Times Book Review)
