 book review January 7, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this book because I enjoy food and food terminology. While I have done a superficial cover-to-cover read, I discovered that, while informative, I could have easily obtained all the enclosed information via a variety of websites. It makes me realize how reliant I have become on searching the web for information of any sort. In retrospect, I would not buy this book, albeit, fine on its own terms.

This is a MUST for all Foodies! Anything and EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about food, food preparation, origination, history, etc. I was turned on to the book at a restaurant when I asked our server what an "achiote" pepper was. Our server brought back HIS copy of The Companion and I IMMEDIATELY went to the bookstore and got one! Later, I got five copies for Christmas gifts. If you love food...you'll adore this book!
best recource you can get for the home cook. January 3, 2008

I was given this book years ago. Essential if you experiment in the kitchen. It's a great addition to the cookbooks in every aspiring chefs kitchen. If you like to experiment with new ingredients or a lot of ethnic foods it's a must. Every time I find a recipe with an ingredient I am unfamiliar with it comes in handy. This makes a nice "host gift" instead of a bottle of wine. A nice conversation piece.
This book is a wonderful helpful tool December 27, 2007

Every kitchen should not be without this amazing book. It lists thousands of food items and give you a discription of each one. It is like having a dictionary just for those items in your kitchen. I recommend it to everyone from the earliest beginner to the most experienced.
