Here’s a tempting offer from Unilever — a free copy of The World Culinary Arts Series: Savoring the Best of World Flavors. These DVDs contain instructional programs and reference material for chefs and culinary students who want to make their menus more global. Unfortunately, there’s a caveat: this offer is intended for people who work (at least peripherally) in the restaurant industry. Yet I say that anyone interested in cooking is essentially a culinary student. (You don’t have to be enrolled in school to be a student, right? Just say you’re an independent scholar or nutritionist. Food critic!) Lastly, the catch is that you must choose only one volume; you can’t get the entire set.
- Volume One, Savoring the Best of World Flavors won a prestigious 2007 James Beard Award for Best Webcast, and focuses on the flavors of India, Spain, Mexico and Thailand, as prepared by the top chefs in each region.
- Volume Two, Savoring the Best of World Flavors highlights the “gold standard” of world cuisines, with a focus on the foods of southern Spain, Turkey, Malaysia and Singapore — all featuring premier chefs of these regions.
- Volume Three, Savoring the Best of World Flavors travels through the hidden kitchens of Vietnam as local experts uncover the secrets of the iconic dishes that illuminate this culture. In this volume, you learn more about the nation’s culinary foundation — rice — and its many preparations.
- Volume Four, Savoring the Best of World Flavors (last but definitely not least) concentrates on Brazilian and Peruvian foods, as prepared by the top chefs in each region.
Get your global groove on … and bon appetit!
