Recipes Without Borders is the topic, my guest is Jeffrey Saad with his new book Global Kitchen!
FLAVORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. NO PASSPORT REQUIRED
Cilantro and chili peppers are Mexican royalty. Oregano and basil have defined Italian foods for centuries. And nothing recalls the tastes of India more than cumin and coriander. Anything from a plain chicken breast to a fresh-from-the-ocean fillet can be transformed into dozens of different ethnic dishes, and chef Jeffrey Saad is just the person to show you how.
In his cookbook debut, Saad—restaurateur and star of the Cooking Channel’s United Tastes of America—takes you on an international tour to celebrate and savor the flavors of the globe without ever leaving your kitchen. Journeying through popular culinary hotspots from France, Italy, and Spain to India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, Saad breaks down the core spices that define each region’s cuisine and showcases scrumptious recipes inspired by these global palates.
Written with Saad’s showstopping passion for food and seasoned with helpful sidebars and cooking essentials, this easy-to-use recipe guide is a melting pot of culinary wisdom. Whether you like savory or sweet, keeping it mild or kicking up the heat, Jeffrey Saad’s Global Kitchen shows you how to eat globally and cook locally with gourmet-quality results.

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2008 Les Pensées de Pallus – Chinon
100% Cabernet Franc; Chinon Pensées de Pallus – the estate’s second wine – smells of fresh blackberry and mulberry, raw walnut, incense, wild fennel, and smoked meat. Like a dense yet vibrant and refreshing mingling of fresh dark berry juices, burley tobacco, and savory fennel seed- and black pepper-laced sausage, this fills and invigorates the palate, finishing with tart notes of berry skin and faintly bitter hints of nut husk and artichoke.
