Can any readers of this notes file recommend a good source
of english language ethnic cookbooks, available either in
the Boston area or by mail order?
I'm looking for cookbooks with recipes true to their
origins, without modification for American tastes or
shortcuts to preparation or ingredients.

THERE IS A PLACE CALLED THE BOOKMOBILE IN NEWTON ON HIGHLAND AVE.
IT HAS THE BEST SELECTION OF COOKBOOKS(ETHNIC INCLUDED0 I HAVE
EVER SEEN. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE NAME (IT MAYBE THE MOBILE BOOK
FAIR), BUT LOCATION IS CORRECT.

re .-1
Unfortunately for my wallet, I've already found New England
Mobile Book Fair. I concur that they've got the best selection
of cookbooks in the area. Actually, they've probably got one of
the best selections of books in the area, all at 20% off the cover
price.
Unfortunately they seem to carry mostly the large American publishers.
I seldomly find cookbooks by small American or foreign publishers.

If "ethnic" can include the various groups found in America, I
reccommend The New York Times Heritage Cookbook. It is divided
into regions. Each regional section contains the chapters one would
normally find in a cookbook -- breads, vegetables, main dishes,
desserts, sauces. You can find the same overall recipe, such as
a fish soup, prepared in entirely different ways, according to the
heritage of the people of the region.
It has good recipies and makes for interesting reading -- scrapple
from Pennsylvania Dutch areas, buffalo-berry ketchup from the west,
Scandanavian and German family recipies from the midwest, Portugese
from 'round about Providence, etc.

I can vouch for the NYT one, too - I found my copy in a sale section
for 75 cents - hardcover - and even if it's not ethnic enough, it
makes a good addition to your cookbook collection!
