“Any dish made with love is perfect. But sometimes a good recipe  helps too” 

Somedays, it can be difficult to think of something new to cook. You want to break away from  your cooking routine and have a scrumptious meal, but it can be a tiresome process to find a  good recipe that only requires local ingredients. What do you do then? 

A Cookbook is the answer! Cookbooks might sound alien to someone who follows step-by-step  videos online but this might be just what you need. Unlike popular belief, cookbooks provide  detailed, tried-and-tested recipes. They also explain the history of a dish so that you are fully  aware of what you are making. 

Notion Press, India’s leading self-publishing platform, presents Flavours Across Our Borders by  Kshama Chandra, Renu Rajesh and Richa Rajesh; a book that consists of the best recipes from  around the world that can be recreated with local ingredients in the comfort of your kitchen.   

With recipes like Shredded Potato in Hot Garlic Sauce, Basque Toast, Vietnamese toast and  many more that sound like a treat to the taste buds, the authors cover vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. 

The recipes in the book are divided based on cuisine, making it easier for you to find the recipe  of your choice. Some are the most popular recipes that are part of English, French, Swiss,  Chinese, Italian, Thai, Mexican, Japanese and selected popular Middle Eastern cuisines. 

This book came together after the authors have personally tasted authentic flavours abroad,  carefully observing the latest videos of almost all the recipes to ensure that the regional  variations in ingredients and methods are noted accurately. This process during the initial 

stages also helped the authors rediscover the contemporary take without losing its  authenticity. Each dish was cooked multiple times to finalize a recipe that worked best before it  was included in the book. 

The authors of Flavours Across Our Borders believe that this collaboration of recipes from  around the world, which also gained popularity across India, is perfect for family meals,  occasions and while hosting guests.
