the world to sample native fare in some 36 countries on four continents. THE TRIP, sponsored by Scandinavian Airlines System, took her nine, and one-half months and resulted in her recent volume, "The SAS World-Wide Restaurant Cookbook." -in every country (and these included not only the regular tourist route but also such exotic countries as India, Japan, Thailand, Egypt, Israel, Chile and the Soviet Union), the slim, good-looking Mrs. Adams searched for restaurants with, typically native cuisine. She had been warned that in some countries, particularly in the Orient, there just weren't any good restaurants. She found none in Indonesia and Burma that were fit to eat in.

In those cases she tried to find the best international restaurants and get recipes for their own specialties de maison. COLLECTING recipes was not always easy, reports Mrs. Adams. "In the Far East," she says, "if you ask for a recipe they don't know what you're talking about. They throw in a bit of this and a bit of that the way they've learned by watching someone else." "In France," she continues, "you learn to be mildly suspicious.

The "French are secretive about their dishes. They may leave out one major ingredient in giving a recipe." Before she became involved in global gastronomic advertures, Mrs. Adams, holder of an A. B. degree in economics and political science from Vassar College, was housekeeping editor of Charm Magazine for seven years and has occupied similar editorial berths on several other national magazines and national magazines.
