"Brilliantly photographed by Maja Smend. Your eyes are going to
like what they see from the second you open the soft cover. Your
mouth will water while perusing the recipes. And get this, by
purchasing this book you will be helping impoverished children
attend the Sala Bai Cooking School. Here they can go to school for
free and learn a trade to use as a source of income." --Texas
