I Just got these books about a week ago and they are EXCELLENT.

The Best Recipe's in the World - Mark Bittman
This book has I swear over 2000 recipe's and atleast 10 from every country of the world.

Greatest Recipe's - (Doesnt have an Author)
Ive got about 10 recipes in here that i LOVE. Including Mussel Flourentine and Lamb Cuttlets with Olives and Rosemary

Congratulations on finding some enjoyable books! Always great to have ones that give you what you want.

Mind you, just to be pernickety , if it has 10 recipes from every country that's one mighty big book... some of us might think that certain cuisines have trouble producing ten best recipes of the world

What is it you like about Bittman? This is not a challenge, I'm seeking insight.

I tried one his low ingredient count cookbooks from the library and I bounced off him pretty hard. Same for the PBS show where he hangs with a chef and watches him cook then cooks a simplified version for us at home. I always am much more interested in the chef's dish.
