Discover the best pancakes around the world, both savory and sweet
A globe-spanning journey through the world of pancakes in 80 recipes, exploring the histories, techniques, and traditions behind the world's most beloved dish.
From the delicate crêpes of France to the spongy, sour layers of Injera in Ethiopia, and from the crisp edges of Chinese Scallion Pancakes to the fluffy stacks of American breakfasts, pancakes are a global language of food. They may be thin or thick, sweet or savory, fermented or freshly mixed, folded, rolled, stuffed, or eaten straight from the pan, but they all begin with the same essential idea: a grain, liquid, and a little heat.
Around the World in 80 Pancakes is a journey through that shared idea. It shows how different cultures have taken the same basic concept and turned it into something unique, using local ingredients and traditions. Some pancakes are eaten every day, others for special occasions. Some are used like utensils, while others are full meals on their own. This book invites you to explore that world, one pancake at a time.
