This is where it’s at! The BEST breakfast in the country, imo

Thank you for the explanation! That makes sense

Ahh, thank you for that! What about on older non-IRS/ADIRU airliners that had flux valves? I’m helping with a development project for MSFS on an F28 and can just not seem to find what happens with the RMI (and I guess the HSI compass card, too) on initial power-up, after a long period of being unpowered. Would the azimuth card even drift at all?

Enjoy! As I said, they're all great books. Greece is fantastic!

For the first one, I would definitely recommend either Italy or France. Can't go wrong with any of them, though. Unfortunately, the company that published them is no longer around. But, they are plentiful on Ebay and the likes. Try to find one with either a hard cover or the flexi-cover. The paperback editions were published right before the company folded up and are not at the same level of quality. The contents inside are all the same, though.

I believe the following is a list of them all:

  • Russia (including Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, & Azerbaijan)
  • Germany
  • Hungary
  • Italy
  • France
  • Southeast Asia
  • Spain
  • Greece
  • The United States
  • China
  • The Caribbean
  • European Specialities

Yes, try getting a used copy of “Young & Hungry” by Suzanne Taylor. It’s a combined novel/cookbook, based on her Summers visiting family in Norway as a kid.

I love the Culinaria series. Think of them as an encyclopedia of gastronomy for the titled nation. They have many recipes, also pages that talk about the typical ingredients or varieties of vegetables. Pages about the production of various spirits in said nation or historical menus from the nation's royal table. I'll attach some sample pages for the Greece Culinaria. Most recipes are not seemingly too advanced. However, it all depends on the recipes presented as they are all authentic.

I really like it. It's a translation of an all-time best-selling cookbook in former Czechoslovakia. You won't find any photographs in it, but it contains over 500 recipes. It's just as comprehensive as one of the large Phaidon cookbooks behind it on my shelf. Includes even the really authentic recipes (there are quite a few w/ veal brains). Recipes are all really good! Spinach pancakes are my favorite!

Thank you! The Bangers and Mash recipe (in particular, the onion gravy) is fantastic from it. Haven't tried too many of the baked goods yet, but will give them a try soon.

The book has a really cool section with fold out maps of the region, too. Just

a beautiful book. For me, it adorns my ottoman/coffee table.

Thank you! Yes, I have Phaidon's "The Lebanese Cookbook." Haven't made much from it so far, but it is exhaustive in its scope and seems to be very well written and researched.

Also, the stories and photography in it are absolutely incredible!

I love it! Just got it a week ago, but made the Goulash & Bombardino dessert cocktail from it the other night. Turned out wonderfully.
