One of the most enjoyable parts of travel is to taste the foods that are indigenous to different countries and cultures.
If you judge Mexican food by local restaurants you would miss the incredible variety of moles for Oaxaca, for example. The
stews of Hunan province are not served in Chinese restaurants and African food is hard to find outside of large cities.
But traveling to all these regions to sample these wonderful cuisines is impossible, so we turn to cookbooks. A newer and
faster and cheaper way to do that now is to download an Ebook from someone who is familiar with these foods and has tested
each recipe. You can print each recipe as needed and keep the rest in a file on your computer.
Here is one recipe from Hot & Spicy Soups & Stews From Around the
World
