Review
Illustrated with beautiful drawings by Brian Ma Siy and photographs by James Murphy, Home Food takes the reader on a dizzying culinary journey around the world. He sets off from Australia with fusion (not confusion) recipes like "Carpaccio of Yellow-fin Tuna with Wasabi Vinaigrette" before moving on to the Balkans and Bosphorus with "Moussaka with Dry-grilled Aubergine and Parmesan Custard". "Venison Pie" is one of the recipes chosen for Britain and "Stir-Fried Rice with Egg and Crab" gives a taste of China. And so he continues: "Pan-fried Red Mullet with Caper Butter Sauce" (France), "Three-cheese Pecorino Gnocchi with Spinach" (Italy), "Feijoada" (South America), "Thai Green Curry with Fish", "Jambalaya" (USA). Korea, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, the West Indies, India...
Home Food is a superb book. The recipes are arranged by country and each chapter could be a book itself. Together they reflect the way we eat today. In every major city around the world you will find Italian, Chinese and Indian restaurants. With Whittington's book you can have a Japanese lunch and Portuguese dinner. His erudite introductions to each chapter are evocative, informative and a joy to read. "Since we have to eat to live, let us make that necessity a joy." --Dale Kneen
