Cooking the Greek Way: To Include New Low-Fat and Vegetarian Recipes
Author : by Lynne W. Villios
Publisher: Lerner Publications
Colectie: : Easy Menu Ethnic Cookbooks
Pages: 73
Format: PDF
ISBN: 0822541319
Size: 32.37 MB
Quality: excelenta
Language: English
Book Description:
Grade 5-8-Three attractive titles in an extensively revised series. In each volume, the
front matter comprises close to half the book. Geography, history, holidays and festivals,
typical ingredients, and sample menus are all covered. Safety tips are also included
(with no mention of adult supervision), as are tips for healthful cooking. Each book
presents about 20 recipes, mostly focusing on lunch, dinner, and holiday foods. A
number of recipes are vegetarian, and several seem to be low in fat (although nutrition
information is not included). Skills needed cover a fairly large range, from easy to
difficult, such as working with phyllo dough (Greek) or making yeast bread (Norwegian).
The narrative pieces are smoothly written and offer some interesting tidbits. The authors
are either natives or have some family connection to the country under discussion. The
pages are a warm buff color, and the design allows plenty of space on the page for the
text and the nicely reproduced color photos. All in all, these are good resources for
reports and for older kids who want to add something new to their cooking for family or
friends.

Cooking the French Way: Revised and Expanded to Include New Low-Fat and
Vegetarian Recipes
Author : by Bruce Fraser
Publisher: Lerner Publications
Colectie: : Easy Menu Ethnic Cookbooks
Pages: 73
Format: PDF
ISBN: 0822541068
Size: 6.11 MB
Quality: excelenta
Language: English
Book Description:
Grade 5-8-These three titles are, for the most part, worthy successors to the originals.
(Cooking the East African Way was originally called Cooking the African Way [Lerner,
1988].) Each well-organized and well-written book now has a greater emphasis on
low-fat and vegetarian recipes. An introductory section contains information on the
culture, geography, food, holidays, and festivals of the country or region. This is followed
by safety tips; glossaries of cooking utensils, terms, and special ingredients; healthy and
low-fat cooking tips; and a metric conversion chart. A short discussion on eating
customs is followed by sample menus complete with shopping lists. The clearly written
recipes that follow are organized by type of meal. Brief introductory notes, suggestions
for substitute ingredients, and cooking tips are included in many of the recipes.
Preparation time and serving size are indicated. The books are visually appealing with
many full-page, full-color photographs (frequently adjacent to the recipes they refer to).
A couple of minor quibbles are the lack of pronunciation guides (present in the previous
editions) and the lack of a nutritional breakdown for each recipe. Carole L. Albyn and
Lois S. Webb's The Multicultural Cookbook for Students (Oryx, 1993) would be a good
companion to any of these volumes. Fran Osseo-Asare's A Good Soup Attracts Chairs
(Pelican, 1993; o.p.) introduces West African cuisine. These new titles will be useful for
cultural and heritage school projects as well as fun reads for intermediate cooks.
