It’s an adventurous cookbook that embraces the big hitters from the incredible countries I’ve visited recently, as well as completely new things I’ve made up by taking cues from the influences around me. I’ve taken some of the most famous and exciting dishes from these beautiful places and tweaked them so you can recreate the paellas of Spain, the tagines of Morocco and the risottos of Italy easily, and authentically, in your own kitchen.<xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 200%"><FONT face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </SPAN>Every now and then, being brave, escaping the daily routine and filling up on other cultures is a great thing to do.
