My favorites are American Cooking: Southern Style, as southern
cooking is my favorite, and The Cooking of Provencial France, since
M.F.K. Fisher is such a brilliant writer.
I pick the Foods of the World books up and read them for pleasure
when I want to take an imaginary trip abroad. I love the
photography.
I have:
The Cooking of the British Isles, American Cooking: Creole and
Canadian, The Cooking of Japan, The Cooking of Scandinavia, The
Cooking of Germany, Pacific and Southwest Asian Cooking, Wine and
Spirits, A Quintet of Cuisines, The Cooking of Vienna's Empire,
Chinese Cooking, The Cooking of India, Latin American Cooking,
American Cooking: The Melting Pot, American Cooking: The Eastern
Heartland, American Cooking: Southern Style, American Cooking, and
The Cooking of Provincial France.
I'm looking for any others that I can find! I keep coming across the
titles I already own.
