You might like this as well:

http://www.amazon.com/Dine-Europes-M.../dp/3833111585

It's part as Konneman's "Eurodelicies" (pictured below as related
items - also interesting books). It's a huge book, but not
affiliated with the series. It's along the same lines, though.
Once I saw the price ($11 incl. shipping), I'm ordering it now. I
haven't seen it lower than $30 in stores.

It's not big on backround and a lot of the ingredients are hard to
come by, but it's a great idea and picture book :-) I do have a
couple of the "Eurodelicies" as well (Seafood, and the
Meat/Poultry). This will be a great addition to my collection.

If Amazon will stop locking up and let me place the order ...
