About Regional Cookbooks
(You should already have read the general notes on our selection of cookbooks and on interpreting our book listings, as found on our Good Cookbooks main cookbooks page.)
These, of course, are cookbooks that focus on the cookery of some area, nation, or region within a nation (or, in a few cases, the whole world). These were not selected by us to provide total map coverage, but rather because respected food writers have praised them; nonetheless, they do cover the culinary globe remarkably well.
