Eating on the Road
Europe on 10 Salads a Day by Mary Jane Edwards, Greg Edwards, 1990.
We poked our heads into each of these kitchens and found, even in countries where we expected meat to be in every dish, wonderful places to eat. We also included translations so you won't have to send the "Huhnerbruhe" back to the kitchen. The book was written several trips ago, but on our last trip we found the same good food. Restaurants in Europe seem to have better staying power than some spots here in the U.S. Most of them have been favorites of ours for many years. Includes directions and maps.
