Food: The Definitive Guide
The Perfect A-Z Companion for Food Lovers
This isn't just for food lovers; I'd include chefs, cooks, caterers, newly weds, students, first-time entertainers, and the generally curious. It's an indispensable kitchen companion.
Its alphabetic listing makes it easy to use. You just look up an ingredient (everyday or exotic, they are all there) and you get a photo, an explanatory note, indication of usage or cooking method, often (but not always) a recipe and frequently a reference to a related item.
For example, look up the dish pilaff and you get recipes for Tomato & Herb Pilaff and for Onion and Pea Pullao. There is a cross-reference to burghul and its many other names. There is a bit of history as well. Or you can look up a single ingredient such as shallott and you'll get cooking methods, alternate names, a description, various uses and a delicious recipe for Caramelized Shallot Tart.
