![]() ![]() This looks like some work, but it seems scrumptious! A meatball within a meatball. Let's take a look at a few examples.Īrmenian Stuffed Meatballs. But it's the recipes that are the heart of this book. ![]() The first part of the book is a standard discussion of cooking tools needed, a glossary of ingredients and condiments, and an essay on the immigrant experience. But there are a number that I already find tempting and expect to begin trying these out soon! ![]() I just received the book and have not had a chance to try out any recipes. Smith begins by laying out the methodology of this book (): "We have traveled all over this great nation eating with immigrants, many of them grandmas, who know that it is terribly important to retain those characteristics of our immigrant ancestry, characteristics that will help us remember who we are." Hence, we have a cook book with a small set of recipes from many countries, from Armenia to the Basque region of Spain to Ethiopia to Jamaica to Ireland to Korea to Lebanon and through Yugoslavia (countries are in alphabetical order). However, I recently received my copy of Jeff Smith's "The Frugal Gourmet on Our Immigrant Ancestors: Recipes You Should Have Gotten from Your Grandmother." What a fascinating concept and what a nice set of recipes! I never really watched The Frugal Gourmet when he was featured on Public TV. ![]()
