A dozen
great peasant dishes
for your kitchen

I learned how to prepare these peasant dishes from local cooks during my gastronomic journeys around the world.

All my peasant cuisine recipes are authentic, kitchen tested, and easy to follow - and just as important, delicious.

The recipes are from my critically praised Great Peasant Dishes of the World book (see reviews in right column).
