|
Are you ready for a journey on a savory winged chicken-soup spoon to more than a hundred countries and their kitchens? When you read about the ingredients, herbs and spices, fowl and filler in each pot, you will meet the essence of the cook, his or her national or regional culture, economic imperatives, geographic quirks, religious and secular beliefs, superstitions, traditions and culinary magic. Included are facts and fancy about the history and health benefits of chicken soup in all its transformations and entertaining tid-bits quoted from an array of the culinary world's most famous voices. Look at our world from a new perspective in a bowl of Transylvanian wedding soup, elegantly layered Malaysian soto ayam, Ashkenazi kreplach soup, Caribbean calalloo, lava-hot Thai tom kha gai, Andean ajiaco, Aboriginal witjuti and bunya nut soup or Korean ginseng-laden samgyetang. Enjoy an armchair ride for its own sake or translate the compendium of information into new adventures in ethnic restaurants or creations in your own kitchen. These pages are likely to give you sober pause to consider the plight of less fortunate people, make you smile at the geandiose pontifications about pots of bubbling broth and stimulate your own creativity.
