Best Books 2024: International Cuisine

Posted on January 24, 2025

by Mely A

Do you have a favorite dish or meal that you enjoy eating or cooking? As someone who loves to eat and is often around others who also love to eat, I get asked that question often. A variety of cuisines have influenced how I eat, which makes pinpointing one specific dish as a favorite most difficult.

If you, too, love to eat, it comes as no surprise that one of the best ways to learn about and connect with another culture is through its food. With many of the diverse cuisines in the Toledo and Lucas County food scene, we are fortunate to have a wide range of influences to draw inspiration from when we’re making our next meal.

To help you find added inspiration, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite titles on international cuisine for 2024. We hope that your next gathering will include dishes from one, or many, of the cuisines that are a part of our food traditions. With the variety of dishes available to us and are a part of our everyday palates, how can we name just one?
