Summary: Good food with a side of guilt
Comment: Every recipe I've tried so far has been very good, and they have more variety and flavor than the ones in More-With-Less, but the sidebars can be annoying. Some of them are interesting cultural facts, but a lot of them are about how people in the US are more greedy, less hospitable, and in every way inferior to people in practically every other country on earth. As somebody who has lived in other countries I appreciate the cultural information, but as somebody who has met plenty of generous and hospitable people in the US who are very careful to live simply, I get a little tired of the same old refusal to find anything at all of value in the United States. So, five stars for the recipes, minus one star for the preaching.

Summary: Not just "Christian moralizing"
Comment: All the recipes in this book are delicious, clear, and exciting, as the other reviews amply cover, but the anecdotes and essays and quotes are equal treasures. While the book is written from a missionary-Christian POV, I found it meaningful and touching as an agnostic sort-of-Jew, and never felt proselytized or talked down to, and it never seemed like the many different faiths and cultures of the people contributing the recipes were being disrespected. So don't let the fear of evangelizing put you off of it!

Summary: COOKS
Comment: I LOVE THE INTERNATIONAL RECIPES. WHEN I CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING TO PREPARE FOR DINNER, GUESS WHERE I LOOK. SO FAR, I HAVE NOT PREPARED ANYTHING THAT I DID NOT LIKE AND AM FINDING FAVORITES IN THE PROCESS.
