introduction
a word from lindsay
In the last 10 years, I have lived in eight states, visited 46 of them, spent a year as an expat on an island in the Caribbean, and traveled to more than 35 places abroad. As you might imagine, I get tripped up anytime someone asks where I am fromwhat is my hometown? The truth is, the world is my home and I am celebrating my jet-setter lifestyle in this cookbook. Inside, you will find international recipes and stories of my adventuresbut no wacky, hard-to-find ingredients or complex cooking methods. Get a world of taste without the fuss!
As with my last two cookbooks, my recipes are still made with wholesome everyday ingredients and without added fats like oil. Join me for a healthy culinary journey throughout the world with a few American classics as our last stop.
