Series Foreword Imagine a typical American breakfast: bacon, eggs, toast, and home fries from the local diner. Or maybe a protein-­packed smoothie, sipped on the go to class or work. In some countries in Eu­rope, breakfast might just be a small cookie and a strong coffee, if anything at all. A South African break- fast might consist of a bowl of corn porridge with milk. In Japan, breakfast might look more like dinner, complete with rice, vegetables, and fish. What we eat varies from country to country, and even region to region. The Global Kitchen series explores the cuisines of dif­fer­ent cultures around the world, from the history of food and food staples to main dishes and con­temporary issues. Teeming with ­recipes to try at home, ­these volumes ­ will delight readers by discovering other cultures through the lens of a trea­sured topic: food. Each volume focuses on the culinary heritage of one country or one small group of countries, covering history and con­temporary culture. Volumes begin with a chronology of major food-­related milestones and events in the area, from prehistory to pre­sent. Chapters explore the key foods and meals in the country, covering the following topics: Food History Influential Ingredients Appetizers and Side Dishes Main Dishes Desserts Beverages Holidays and Special Occasions Street Food and Snacks Dining Out and Food Issues and Dietary Concerns.
