World Kitchen: Thailand and World Kitchen: Italy are the first two titles in a new series of six culinary journeys exploring the influences of geography, climate, culture and tradition that have shaped some of the world's most popular cuisines. Venture into the behind-the-scenes world of growers, artisans and chefs, and learn how their passion for their work helps maintain and re-interpret the traditions and flavours of a nation's food.
More than 150 recipes are featured, selected to best reflect the unique characteristics of each country's cuisine. Lavishly illustrated with location photographs as well as images of finished dishes and authentic cooking techniques, the World Kitchen series is a source of inspiration for the cook and an evocation of a place many people will remember fondly from their travels and others will now yearn to experience.
