So much is tied up in a countryÆs cuisine... indigenous foods of roots and tubers, native wild herbs, berries and spices, cultural traditions and methods of cooking, foreign influences, ingredients and flavourings both indigenous and introduced. One could almost say that a countryÆs dishes embody the essence of what that country is all about. And this is what World Atlas of Food presents to you: from every continent on the globe (excluding Antarctica, naturally) the essence of traditions, food styles and flavours for 100 countries - all those elements that serve to make each country unique - has been extracted. In many cases neighbouring nations or a cluster of islands, as in the Pacific, share a multitude of dishes and yet, inevitable, a specific ingredient or a culinary twist lends each island its own individuality. World Atlas of Food is a journey of the senses, offering armchair travel into the kitchen of six continents. At the same time, through the recipes of our giggling gourmet, Jenny Morris, which uniquely captures the aromas and flavours of each specific country, you are invited to experience the real taste sensations. The most representative local dishes and drinks are also listed, providing insight into ingredients, flavours, herbs and spices, and giving you an intimate understanding of food and its significance in 100 nations.

"The Pillars of the Earth" is his bestselling book of all time. Now, eighteen years after the publication of "The Pillars of the Earth," Ken Follett has written the most-anticipated sequel of the year, "World Without End." In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with "The Pillars of the Earth," a sweeping epic novel set in twelfth-century England centered on the building of a cathedral and many of the hundreds of lives it affected. Critics were overwhelmedit will hold you, fascinate you, surround you ("Chicago Tribune")and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel. "World Without End" takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of "The Pillars of the Earth," The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroad of new ideas about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, the intrigue and tension quickly reach a boiling point against the devastating backdrop of the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the human racethe Black Death. Three years in the writing, and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, "World Without End" breathes new life into the epic historical novel and once again shows that Ken Follett is a masterful author writing at the top of his craft.
