The Multicultural Cookbook for Students

When it was first published, The Multicultural Cookbook for Students was widely acclaimed for its unique way of introducing students both to world cultures and to the kitchen. Now, that landmark volume returns in a thoroughly revised and expanded new edition, offering an even richer culinary tour of the planet with more delectable stops along the way.

The Multicultural Cookbook for Students: Updated and Revised offers hundreds of recipes from over 150 countries--including 140 new recipes to this edition.
