The Immigrant Cookbook: Recipes That Make the World Great

Collected and edited by Leyla Moushabeck
Published by Interlink Books
Rights Sold: Polish, English (UK)

More than 42 million people living in the United States came here from other countries. Since its beginnings, America has been a haven for people seeking refuge from political or economic troubles, or simply those in search of adventure and prosperity in a land where opportunity is promised to all.

Along with their hopes and dreams, they brought valuable gifts: recipes from their homelands that transformed the way America eats.

What would the Southwest be without its piquant green chili pepper sauces and stews, New York City without its iconic Jewish delis, Dearborn without its Arab eateries, or Louisiana without the Creole and Cajun flavors of its signature gumbos and jambalayas? The Immigrant Cookbook: Recipes that Make the World Great offers a culinary celebration of the many ethnic groups that have contributed to Americaโ€™s vibrant food culture.
