"Bon Appetit Country Cooking", Heather Maisner (general editor)

"Country Cooking" seeks to return to the culinary roots of Europe and North America, presenting to the modern cook and food-lover more than four hundred recipes from the great regional traditions. Reacting against frozen, packaged, all-the-year-round ingredients and instant meals, It looks back to the times when recipes evolved from freshly picked local produce, and eating habits of necessity varied with seasons.

Ten writers, all specialists in the food of the countries they are writing about, bring to the book their love for the flavors, smells, sights, and sounds of those countries.
