Far Eastern Cookery - Elinor Burt - 1952 vintage cookbook

"This is a cook book to satisfy any housewife's need for 'something different' that will be both appetizing and interesting. It contains the recipes of Hawaii, Japan, Siberian Russia, China, the Philippines, the Indies and Islands of the Pacific, India, Australia and New Zealand which are likely to tempt American palates and present no insurmountable problems of availability as to ingredients. In addition to a glossary of unfamiliar foods, a talbe of substitutes or equivalents for foods hard to obtain in America is given in the back of the book. Here are recipes for the better known dishes of the Far East, such as the Sukiyaki dinner, and the various foods prepared wiith curry. Here also are the more exotic Oriental dishes, with descriptions of how they are served and at what course in the meal in each country..." - Far Eastern Cookery - Elinor Burt.
