Product Description

World traveller, Sylvie Rocher, presents dishes from her French homeland and from her travels in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean and North America. The French culture spends a lot of time at the table. It is difficult to separate food from life because it is during the special moments while sharing a meal that life's greatest pleasures are discussed. Food therefore is not just about eating. It's about sharing with others. It is with this attitude of sharing and connecting with cultures wherever she travels that author Sylvie Rocher has collected some of the most exotic and delicious recipes available today.

About the Author
Sylvie Rocher was born in Le Puy en Velay, a historic city in the Auvergne region of France. Le Puy en Velay is located geographically in the center of France and is approximately 2 hours from the city of Lyon.

Ms. Rocher left France after completing her studies to explore the world. In the last ten years she has traveled to over 20 countries. Her curiosity about the world has given her the opportunity to study and enjoy some of the ‘most wonderful food’ in the world. This has taken her from the countryside of France, to the hills of Jamaica, to the deserts in Egypt, to the islands of Thailand and many places in between. In each situation she has learned the secrets of cooking and eating the native food of the land she has visited from the people she has met during her travels

great simple recipes
I purchased the book because I enjoy good food, especially international food. I am just starting to learn how to entertain my guest with my own meals prepared in my own kitchen, and Sylvie is a very good teacher for someone like myself. Her recipes are simple and easy to learn. I have tried several of them so far, and I have not been disappointed; the dishes are fresh, delicious, light and leave you satisfied. I especially like the fact that you can easily prepare the meals based on home ingredients.
