 The Axis of Evil Cookbook
Gill Partington
Too funny... a book with lots of delicious evil facts and recipes from the Axis of Evil countries Iraq, Iran and North Korea. It contains the favourite recipes of famous dictators (such as sheep testicles, tongue of the judge, dog stew ??!!) and then of course recipes that are a little more palatable: black bean hummus, rice pudding, baklava...there's even a recipe for 'stars and stripes salad'. It's hilarious, tongue-in-cheek and of course, political. Softcover, 231 pp. $18.00.
 Culinary Cultures of Europe
Edited by Darra Goldstein & Kathrin Merkle
A fascinating, if rather academic, read this large volume covers the culinary traits of every European country, including Scandinavia and the former USSR (including Russia). This is an anthropological treatise, not just on what these peoples eat but also what it means and the cultural significance given to food. There is an essay for each country, and a recipe or two. Very interesting for anyone interested in food or European history and culture. Colour photos. Softcover, 502 pp. $125.00.
