The Kitchen Without Borders: Recipes and Stories from Refugee and Immigrant Chefs by The Eat Offbeat Chefs
4.0
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a refreshing cookbook to read. Rather than listing recipes, the Eat Offbeat chefs have used this opportunity to not only introduce recipes from various cultures around the world, but also to create loving profiles of their own chefs and employees, which really added to the richness of the book. My one criticism would be that the profiles were a bit distracting; it was tough to tell how they were organized among the recipes. I would have enjoyed it more had the profiles been compiled into one section.
If you're looking for some bold new recipes to try and have access to some of the more elusive ingredients, I would highly recommend picking this up when it's published and trying some recipes. (I recently made the hummus; it's very tasty!)
