I would only recommend if you are looking for more interesting, exotic recipes. This is especially good if you want to experience other cultures of food. Not exactly if you want Classic recipes or typically only like All American food, it is Around the World, as the name suggests! Not a ton of desserts either do that's what you are looking for, but if a large variety of different flavors interests you, I would totally recommend, because it's like a text book it has so many options!
