Inhaltsangabe

Penny’s cooking collaborators share over 100 authentic global recipes from Michelin-style perfection to simple home basics with links to over 50 on-line cooking demonstrations. She shows how ingredients and recipes have travelled too: the maize of Creole grits and Malawian nsima; the Chinese seagrass in Californian desserts; choux pastry that failed in Tamarindo but starred in Melbourne: irrepressible Victoria sponges that sprang up in Costa Rica, Chongqing and Hampshire – food-without-borders.

Most importantly, cooking together brought people together regardless of their differences: experiencing life with blindness and disability in China and America; surviving bullying and persecution in Australia and Malawi; being undaunted by difference in Costa Rica and the UK; battling for equality worldwide.

Even a simple cook’s tour was full of drama. Penny narrowly avoided being stranded in San Jose by Hurricane Nate, rescue surfers and helicopters saved her videographer/nephew Toby from drowning near Kiama, she nearly died in Angers.
These personal stories reveal the hidden strength that underpins life.
