Continuation of the series offers ten more delectable recipes created by chefs from around the world.

Lexus International introduces Volume Two of the global digital cookbook, Culinary Perspectives.  The brand’s culinary partner chefs share enticing menus of robust dishes that have been enjoyed at recent Lexus events around the world.

Writer and editor Joshua David Stein are a James Beard Award-nominated author whose work has appeared in the Best American Food Writing, and a former restaurant critic for the Village Voice and New York Observer. He has been the editor-in-chief of Black book magazine and a senior editor at Departures, Eater and Black Ink magazines.

The cookbook’s foreword is by contributing writer Chef Nyesha J. Arrington, celebrated for her advocacy of recipes using farm fresh, local and responsibly sourced ingredients and whose culinary approach is inspired by diverse cultures, flavors and techniques from around the world. She reminds us of the deeper arc of culinary themes by celebrating amazing meals. Bringing joy to eating is rooted in the anticipation of one’s need and the hospitality ethos of the Lexus brand known as omotenashi.

“Culinary Perspectives enables Lexus to connect with our audience on a topic of deep personal interest to them. We hope our audience will embrace this opportunity to explore their own epicurean artisanship.” said Brian Bolain, General Manager, Lexus International.
