Description
Indeed, Tommy has – as a longtime pal described – turned in his straw fedora for a toque . . . and international at that! His botanical brain turned a page from the enjoyable, anecdotal, descriptions and “how to grow” facts of The Civilized Jungle series, through ethnopharmaceutical applications of tropical vegetation in The Medicinal Jungle set of books, to this, the first volume of how such plants can please the palette! Easy and fun to read, as well as simple to follow, his array of recipes have come from all over the world – all featuring attainable ingredients.
They range from African Chicken Curry in Palm Oil, Asparagus Frittata (With a Spanish Omelet twist!), British Bubble and Squeak Latkes and Rumbledethumps, as well as Chinese Kung Pao Cauliflower to Mesoamerican Huevos al Horno con Aguacate (Baked Eggs with Avocado), German Bohnensuppe mit Würstchen (Bean soup with sausages), Mexican Pozole Rojo con Carne (Pork and Hominy Stew), Indonesian Cassava Fritters Stuffed with Coconut Sugar, Italian Capered Tomato Bruschetta and Siamese Mango Shrimp and Aloe Vera Salad, to many, many more!
