THE GLOBAL PANTRY COOKBOOK

Two James Beard-Award winners show how to unlock the secrets of the global pantry and elevate all your favorite foods.

Make the most succulent pot roast ever with oyster sauce. Transform a broiled salmon filet with miso. Give an irresistible kick to chicken wings with gochujang. Turn out the crunchiest French toast with panko breadcrumbs. Use Mexican chorizo to add depth to a quick skillet chili. Add coconut milk to banana pudding - it's magical. And even your best ribs will take on a sticky new deliciousness with sweet soy sauce. In more than 120 recipes, here's how with just a dash here or a tablespoon there - you can elevate your cooking using 65 common pantry items from around the world.
