You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll be more stunningly gorgeous [...]

Books for cooks – From Korea to New Orleans to Provence and back home
In the last post, we looked at an Indian cookbook that specialized in simple recipes (really good for the novice cook). We also had a lovely vegetarian recipe from the book: Potatoes with Cumin Seeds. Spicy, easy, and with potatoes as the main ingredient.
Today, we are moving to new lands, including Korea, New Orleans, Stockholm, [...]
