The recipes in this book are a collection of both – aspirational restaurant recipes and easy to make ones, both of which capture the flavor of that country and its people. The book is divided into international regions and countries based loosely on her travels and the cookery show she hosted for Star TV. There is gastronomical history of each cuisine and boxes on special features. Mexican cuisine was born out of the Spanish invasions on an ancient Aztec Indian culture.

In the words of the author: "Recipes in this book draw from my experiences from Barcelona to Bali, the food I ate and sometimes cooked, the people I met and the wonderful dishes I sampled along the way."
