This book provides specific information on the food and culture of each of
the 195 countries in the world. Designed to be consistent and concise, it
uses an outline format that details the cultural factors related to food
( such as geography, ethnic group, religions and education) and the food
itself ( such as typical dishes, special occasion foods, meals and service
and street food and snacks). Its goal is to help readers develop
multicultural competence and cultural sensitivity so they are more equipped
to provide adequate food service, nutrition education, and health care to
an increasingly diverse population.
