- COOK
Now in The Universal Kitchen she focuses on similarities rather than differences, on the structures and techniques shared by cultures throughout history. The book begins with the most basic dish of all, "Meat on a Stick," ranging from Armenian Shish Kabob to Singapore Beef Satay to Creole Barbecued Oysters. Similarly, the theme of dough wrapped around a savory stuffing is illustrated by such variations as Indian samosas, Mexican quesadillas, and Jewish knishes.
Earthy and erudite, Rozin takes us on a gastronomic odyssey, from the classic Salade Nicoise to her grandma's unburnt cucumber salad, to show how the food of people all over the world has evolved along similar lines, a testament to the kitchen as a focus of our common humanity and to the cook as the interpreter of our shared culinary heritage.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
