Always they are his own version drawn from techniques he learned as a professional chef and from many years of talking to chefs producers and household cooks around the world. Despite these insights every recipe is designed to be carried out--easily--by any amateur chef and they are designed to be completed with the assistance of children.Mark and Talia invite you and your family into their kitchen outfitted with overflowing packets of exotic spices and aromas of delicacies from Tanzania and Kazakhstan to Cuba and Norway.
