The World Encyclopedia of food
Here, at last, is a truly comprehensive -- and truly international -- guide to the foods of the world. The World Encyclopedia of Food contains articles on some 4,000 foods and beverages, ranging from: Worldwide staples (potatoes, apples) to Local specialties (clotted cream, Ouzo) to delicacies (caviar, snails) to important brand-name products (Coca-cola) to oddities (penguin eggs, grasshoppers). The origins, history, lore and cultivation (or preparation) of each food or beverage are described, along with the cultures in which each is most frequently used. Basic methods of preparation are noted, along with the names, and brief descriptions, of some classic dishes. Many of the articles are also illustrated with extraordinary artwork, especially commissioned for this book -- there are 200 line drawings, 150 black and white photographs and 50 color plates. This unparalleled reference guide to the world's food is equally useful in the kitchen and in the library. The restaurateur, the gourmet, the amateur cook -- anyone, in fact, who knows and cares about food -- will find The World Encyclopedia of Food an invaluable source, one that will be referred to time and time again.
