Product Description
The brand-new fourth edition of this widely praised reference guide has been updated with new information for everyone, including lovers of ethnic foods and health food aficionados. The authors have added many all-new entries on exotic produce and other unusual ingredients. An earlier edition of The New Food Lover’s Companion was hailed by Bon App©tit magazine as “one of the best reference books we’ve seen, a must for every cook’s library.” This new …
I was dissappointed in the condition of this book because it was a gift for my sister. The book was stated to be Used but in Excellent Condition. When it came there were large folds from the top to the bottom of the pages and the back cover, making it look ‘tacky’ as a gift. The written contents of the book were excellent and, the book is very handy to have as a reference book for cooking.

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!

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.
