A Canadian chef-in-training,
By A Customer
This review is from: Food Lover's Companion, The (Paperback)
Though breif in it's descriptions, its still a good reference book to keep around and it's travel size is good for students like myself.

Better -- and more fun -- than you can imagine,
By A Customer
This review is from: Food Lover's Companion, The (Paperback)
This book resides in my kitchen and is used regularly to check food names, food origins, answer questions about particular dishes or cooking methods -- it's all here! In addition to the main dictionary-body of the book, the appendices are chock full of useful explanatory charts & diagrams (Conversions, Substitutions, "Retail Cuts of Beef/Pork/Lamb/Veal", Herb & Spice Chart, etc.). Extremely user-friendly, the book has a wonderful feel and heft, and is a great gift, but not just for foodies...anybody who eats would enjoy it. I was intrigued and picked it up years ago in a Fresh Fields Store, and now can't imagine not having it.
