I recently added this massive volume to my editorial reference library and, now that I have, I'm wondering what took me so long. The illustrations are beautiful; the writing is elegant and comprehensive; and each entry is a joy to read. I was lucky enough to find a used copy in pristine condition. Now I just have to find a shelf strong enough to hold it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

They include information on specific foods, cooking terms, culinary tools, countries, traditions, and biographies of chefs and cookbook authors. The entries for countries cover foods, habits, and holidays with special foods. The entries about traditions cover religious laws that deal with food and/or fasting, such as Ramadan and kosher laws. There are 39 longer articles about staple foods such as rice and apples. A comprehensive bibliography provides access to further information. The book does not contain recipes, but it is an excellent companion for sources such as the Larousse Gastronomique."--"Outstanding reference sources 2000", American Libraries, May 2000.

I didn't read this book cover to cover but have dipped into it when coming across a less familiar food item, wishing for a more detailed background on others or simply for random interest.
A great resource and source of pleasure for gastronomes with large bookshelves.
