I don't much care for this book but my sweet bride does; she marked six recipes to try right away. This, of course, is why God made chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. There is a quite wonderful variety of meals on skewers offered by this little text. Each of them strikes me as perfectly typical of the cuisine represented but in a very generic way. I am reminded of how, in the 1950s, one stuck a bit of pineapple in an ordinary recipe and dubbed it Hawaiian or added jarred "curry powder" to an ordinary recipe and called the result East Indian. Sally Sampson is a good writer and a food writer. But these remind me too much of the recipes in those women's magazines found at the end cap by the check out in the grocery store.
