Amazon.com Review
An amazing cookbook that travels to the furthest reaches of the world to celebrate flatbreads with over the recipes for a myriad of breads, including Afghani naan, Mexican tortilla, French fougasse, Middle Eastern pita, and Armenian lavash. Hungry for something to go with all that bread? The authors include another 150 recipes for traditional accompaniments. How about a Scandinavian smorgasbord, tomatillo salsa with arbol chiles, Nepali green chile chutney, Ethiopian beef tartar, or Yemeni stew?

Product Description

As they have pursued their passions for travel and exploring culture through food, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid have found an internationally shared and nourishing element of culture and cuisine: flatbreads, humankind's simplest, oldest, and most remarkably varied form of bread.

In their James Beard Award-winning cookbook Flatbreads and Flavors Alford and Duguid share more than sixty recipes for flatbreads of every origin and description: tortillas from Mexico, pita from the Middle East, naan from Afghanistan, chapatti from India, pizza from Italy, and French fougasse. In addition, they provide 150 recipes for traditional accompaniments to the flatbreads, from chutneys and curries, salsas and stews, to such delectable pairings as Chinese Spicy Cumin Kebabs wrapped in Uighur nan or Lentils with Garlic, Onion, and Tomato spooned onto chapatti. Redolent with the tastes and aromas of the world's hearths, Flatbreads and Flavors maps a course through cultures old and intriguing, and, with clear and patient recipes, makes accessible to the novice and experienced baker alike the simple and satisfying bread baker's art.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!   September 30, 2008
What a wonderful book, i want to make it all, and what great reading, thank you for such a comprehensive and readable work! I have yet to cook from this book, but know i will enjoy it, having used recipes from this author when he worked with Julia Child on her Baking With Julia show ...

Alford and Duguid have done it again; created a cooking adventure in a book. Flatbreads and Flavors is a fine choice for the adventurous cook as well as the real, or armchair, traveler. The recipes are accurate and reasonably reliable, a helpful ingredient glossary is available to assist the cook new to foreign ingredients, and the way that the authors have been able to insinuate themselves so gracefully into the lives of nomads and others, make the cultures come alive. I have made a mezze dinner for friends using a selection of their recipes (they even provide menu suggestions) to rave reviews. A great read.

I like to make flatbreads with my flatbread/tortilla griddle. This book sounded good to me because of the recipes not only for the flatbreads, but foods that accompany them. Of added interest is where the recipes originated from, and accompanying stories.


4 out of 5 stars Good introduction to simple breads and accompaniments   June 15, 2006

Flatbreads & Flavors is an intriguing culinary travelogue of Asia, North Africa, the Middle East, South America with a little Europe and North America thrown in. The bread recipes though are quite American because of the measurements in cups and the commercial dry yeast. I don't believe that folks in the hinterlands are shopping at American grocery stores. More information on natural leavening and native approaches to measuring ingredients would be of more interest. The accompanying dishes are more credibly presented.
