Kuchyně mnoha tváří – Kopecký Jaroslav (2013)

What happens when you say pizza, goulash, eintopf? Or roast beef, pilaf, borscht? And what do shuey-chu-zhou, sushi, tortilla, or Sachertorte evoke? Most likely, a delightful image of a taste experience appears, and saliva begins to flow. No wonder, as these are gems of national cuisines that we have encountered during our travels abroad. And there are many more such gems, as can be read in this book, which serves as a gastronomic guide around the world. Its authors, journalist Jaroslav Kopecký and master chef Vladimír Suchý, set out together to explore 43 countries, attractive not only for their cultural monuments or natural beauty but also for their tradition of good food. They investigated what each national cuisine is famous for, what delicacies can be enjoyed where, and what should definitely not be missed if we want to bring back the richest experiences from afar. They spiced up their narrative with 166 gourmet souvenirs in the form of recipes, so that we can recall pleasant moments at home anytime - preferably with typical dishes. The book is further seasoned with illustrations by the master of cartoon humor Jiří Wintr, aka Neprakta, which will undoubtedly be a welcome surprise for many consumers.
