Summary: An intriguing read
Comment: As a cooking enthusiast, former caterer, and armchair food anthropologist, I appreciate the combination of information in this book. The Hill women have given us the benefit of their extensive travel experience, as well as their own enthusiasm for an excellent meal. The personality behind the creation is usually a mystery; the interviews with the individual chefs lent the dishes a rich background. The details of the settings made me feel as though I had a seat at the table, sometimes including the name of the waitperson. I have yet to test a recipe, but will do so soon. The difficulty will be deciding with which country, and with which recipe to begin! Let's hope that this is the first of a series from the Traveling Hills. . .

Summary: Comments from Carmel Pine Cone
Comment: Quoted selections from Margot Petit Nichols review from The Carmel Pine Cone on 1-18-02: "The SAFEST way to have a love affair is to have it with food and travel. The co-authors have combined their travel and culinary talents, touring around the world and across the country, picking the brains and tasting the foods of well known and emerging chefs alike. The Hill ladies come through with recipes, interviews and tips from professional kitchens in France, Austria, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Fiji and New Zealand. Back home they visit California (referred to as "cutting edge cuisine," as if we didn't know), Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, Bermuda and South America.Indefatigable is one way to describe these women, and to put it simply, this book is just fun to read. Certain recipes are quite haute cuisine, such as Venison Medallions with Foie Gras and Truffle Maderia Jus, and then just beneath this, you'll fina a Grits with Lemon and Asiago Cheese recipe. If you can't get away to tour 19 countries and 17 states, get this more-than-a-cookbook, and become an armchair traveler.
