The
World Family CookBook unites recipes from small villages in Africa and
big cities in Europe, well-loved family recipes passed down from grandmothers
and brand-new ones donated by professional chefs. But it is more as well, for also collected on its pages are rhymes and sayings from around the world that are a recipe of their own -- a recipe for living inside the amazing tapestry of our world:
Recipes.
The cookbook includes more than 100 recipes from all over the world: appetizers, breads, salads and side dishes, soups, main dishes and desserts. They are recipes that work -- before the final selection was made, they were all tried out by professional chefs.
Art Work
The art work was donated by prominent artists from three continents: from Europe, Emilian Stankev (Bulgaria); from America: Michael Lenn, Peter Ferber and Carly Russell (fourth grade student) all from USA; and from Africa, Charles Acrofi (Ghana).
Rhymes and Proverbs
The pages of the cookbook also collect wit and wisdom from around the world -- the words of the wise and many familyies' favorite sayings:
"Cabbage: a familiar kitchen-garden vegetable about as large and wise as a man's head."
-- Ambrose Bierce
