Not very inspiring
I found this book rather bizarre. It features recipes for fried eggs (ingredients eggs and oil), rice (ingredients rice and water), mashed potatoes etc... Apparently in Thailand children eat rice for breakfast, lunch and tea and in Ireland they eat plates of potatoes - just potatoes. Considering all the hundreds of possible recipes which come from these countries the author has summed up their cuisine a little too simply and done a great disservice to both the countries and to anyone who buys this book and thinks that is really all that is eaten. It made me question the rest of the information in the book which may have been correct. It does contain some nice little recipes but take the generalisations with a pinch of salt.
