Round the World in 80 Dishes. Lesley Blanch Lesley Blanch

This charming little book was first published in 1956 when people in England were still enduring post-war restrictions on both travelling and eating. As Lesley Blanch says in her introduction to a later edition "benign fate whisked me elsewhere to follow less restricted ways, travelling widely and eating wildly". She said: "I don"t belong in England, I don"t belong anywhere, it is rather restful - I have met everybody and known nobody". Seductive and piquant like its author, this is "an appetizer for enthusiastic beginners" rather than a basic cookbook. Lesley Blanch"s gastronomic world tour includes eighty recipes each prefaced by an account of where they were first tasted, or with some amusing anecdote.
