Cook Like a Pleasant Eat Like a King

Plot

Bestselling cookbook authors Maria Luisa Scott and Jack Denton Scott have discovered--after crisscrossing the globe more than a dozen times--that the best and most interesting food is prepared in village farm homes, not necessarily in three-star restaurants. As a result, they have cooked like peasants and eaten like kings for more than twenty years. Here are over 150 creative recipes--from appetizers to desserts--culled from the kitchens of world peasantry. Imagination and resourcefulness, not expensive ingredients, can produce such fine cuisine as paella, eggs poached in red wine, fish souffle, and sour cream coffee cake.
