*Disclosure of material connection- I received a copy of the book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest thoughts. I was not require to write a positive review and all opinions stated are 100% my own. 

About the book-

English/Spanish. With well-known ethnic recipes that are both tasty and healthy, this book seeks to pay homage to immigrants through their culinary contributions to the United States. Compiled by lovers of good ethnic food who have lived all around the world, it features 30 well-known dishes that are identified with specific countries worldwide, such as Colombian Sancocho, French Ratatouille, Indian Vegetable Korma, Mexican Fajitas, Moroccan Tagine with Chicken, Greek Moussaka (with Turkey), Polish Lentil Stew, Indonesian Satay with Peanut Sauce, and Spanish Paella. The book includes background information about each dish, calorie and nutrition breakdowns of each recipe, and sections called “Cooking Tips and Tricks” and "Healthy Hints for the Home Cook." Famous Dishes is timely given our country’s current political state of affairs, and that it provides an engaging blend of both good food, ethnicity and health.

My thoughts-

It might be evident from the sheer fact that I review a plethora of cookbooks on this blog that I absolutely love food and cooking. Something that I also really enjoy is trying foods from all over the world. The recipes included here are some of the more popular recipes from many different places including Greece, France, Spain, India, and many other places. Some of my favorite recipes that are included in the book are Fajitas, Vegetable Korma, Moussaka, Irish Stew, and Huevos Rancheros. Famous Dishes from Around the World is a great addition to any kitchen. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes trying new things or who is interested in food from different places.
