KNOW ENOUGH: Ethnic Cuisines
()
About this ebook
Part of the KNOW ENOUGH series, Ethnic Cuisines is based on a very fundamental idea: people just don't have enough time. There is a world of food out there. Like artists produce infinite beauty with just a small palette of colors, so the nations of the world have blended ingredients, spices, and cooking methods to produce a rich and bizarre spectrum of cuisines.
When faced with this array, it might be a little confusing picking a restaurant or knowing what to order when you get there. This guide will give you a short overview of the most common and colorful cuisines from around the world, including your own back yard. You'll get to know the cultures that created these foods, the spices and ingredients they favor, and the manners and customs that might be a little different from your own. Whether you're ready for something new, or an experienced foodie, this book will help you KNOW ENOUGH before you go.
This is what the KNOW ENOUGH series brings to the rest of us; those who don't have the time to study up on everything, nor the throwaway money to experiment. In just a short “briefing” on the subject, readable in an hour or two, you will KNOW ENOUGH...
To make a decision
To have a conversation
To have an opinion
To try something new
To just show off.

About the KNOW ENOUGH Series
This series is based on a very fundamental idea: people just don't have enough time. Many people would like to know more about a lot of subjects, but the materials available are either too in-depth, or are just teasers, enough to get you to buy a product or service.
When a president or general needs to know about a situation or area of the world, they get a briefing. A briefing is not a 2000 page treatise that will make them an expert on the subject as long as they can drop everything that week and study it. A briefing gives them all the information that they need to make informed decisions, no more, no less.
This is what the KNOW ENOUGH series brings to the rest of us; those who don't have the time to study up on everything, nor the throwaway money to experiment. In just a short briefing
on the subject, readable in an hour or two, you will KNOW ENOUGH...
To make a decision
To have a conversation
To have an opinion
To try something new
To just show off.
We will be working as fast as we can to bring you condensed tutorials on your favorite subjects. If there is a subject you would like to request, please contact us at suggestions@dawnstarpress.com. Thanks and good luck!

Chapter 1
Ethiopian Cuisine
We start this book with Ethiopian cuisine, and for good reason. You would be hard pressed to find a culture more rich, and a cuisine more exotic and unique than that found in this north African country.
Isolated from its neighbors by vast mountains, Ethiopia is a land that is unaffected by either the Western or Eastern world. Unlike most countries, Ethiopia has no colonial knickknacks or any European odds and ends left behind as monuments. It is the only African nation that was never colonized,
