The world grows smaller. Each year, thousands of Americans stream abroad to foreign countries, each bringing home a little more world understanding, a little more knowledge of the life and habits in other countries. Knowing the clothing, the culture, and the food of other countries is surely one of the finest ways to promote understanding and friendship. We were reminded of this again and again during the recent Jan Worth Recipe Contest. We received many unusual and delicious recipes with a foreign flavor. Three of the prize winners are presented here. They are easy to prepare and offer a new taste treat for your family. We hope you enjoy them. Sincerely,
