Foods of the World: The Cooking of Pacific and Southeast Asia (Spiral-Bound Booklet) by Rafael Steinberg; Time Life 1970

Condition: Very Good 

Foods of the World: The Cooking of Pacific and Southeast Asia is part of a series of 27 cookbooks published by Time-Life, beginning in 1968 and extending through the late 1970s, that provided a broad survey of many of the world's major cuisines. The individual volumes were written by well-known experts on various cuisines and included significant contemporary food writers, including Craig Claiborne, Pierre Franey, James Beard, Julia Child, and M.F.K. Fisher.  The series combined recipes and the cultural context of these recipes. 

Each volume came in two parts—the main book was a large-format, photograph-heavy hardcover book, while extra recipes were presented in a spiralbound booklet with cover artwork to complement the main book. The individual volumes remain collector's items.
