An insatiable cook and traveler, Gloria Preston Olson has now
written an unprecedented tome of approximately 600 ethnic recipes
which reveal her palate of exquisite sensitivity and taste buds of
discriminating discernment. The lucid instructions and
comprehensive information on foods, wines, cooking equipment, and
techniques make GLOBAL CULINARY ADVENTURES a truly remarkable
cookbook. This comprehensive collection of recipes is arranged
geographically, providing insight to the historical relationships
of the foods of the entire world. Each chapter introduces the
reader to the countries whose recipes are included; thus, it is
also a must for the armchair traveler and those with an
intellectual curiosity of the world. Extensive head notes reveal
the Herculean and sometimes tumultuous adventures endured during
Gloria's quest for culinary knowledge. They include a close call
with Rwanda's Hutus and Tutsis which resulted in meeting Boutros
Boutros-Ghali in an elevator; arriving in Kabul on the eve of the
Communist coup; and Gloria's most memorable experience- a personal
visit to the Shilat caviar processing site on the Caspian Sea in
Iran, where she observed the entire production of caviar, followed
by an invitation to partake of all five types of caviar, as well as
lunch with five Shilat executives.
