About This Book
In this beautifully photographed book, ambassadors and their spouses from over
60 countries invite you to dinner "at home". Many people believe that a meal at
an ambassador's residence will resemble a formal state affair, with
sophisticated but uninspired dishes; but this couldn't be further from the
truth. These accomplished hosts and hostesses know that the kind of food that
creates a successful dinner - one of sparkling conversation, ideas, comfort and
friendship - is food that has character, color and authenticity.
On these pages, 67 menus - complete with recipes - celebrate the cuisines of the
world. All the classics are here: Couscous from Morocco, Beijing Duck from
China, Gravlaks from Norway, Doro Wot from Ethiopia, Blini and Borshch from
Russia, Taboulleh from Lebanon, Japchae from Korea and Apple Strudel from
Austria. The list goes on and on. But there are unexpected and original
selections, too : Spicy Pumpkin Soup with Lime Juice and Jalapeno Peppers from
the United States, Quail with Grapes from Italy, Individual Orange Souffles form
New Zealand, Fragrant Longans and Lotus Seeds in a Clear Syrup from Vietnam and
Limes Bursting with Coconut from Mexico.
These recipes range from simple to laborate, but all of them can be successfully
produced in the home kitchen. For the reader / cook who is trying to decide what
to serve for the next dinner party, this stunning book offers no less than a
world of choice.
