Product Description

Product Description
An enlightening and entertaining anthology of foodie facts, history, quotes, hints and tips. Take that pan off the cooker and settle down to learn about where in the world the annual monkey banquet is held at which gourmet chefs prepare a feast for pampered primates, why Eliza Acton's Modern Cookery for Private Families was such a runaway success in 1845, the science and theory behind the many different ways you can prevent an onion from making you cry, and the unbeatable health-giving properties of fruit.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought for food, 28 May 2007
By G. J. Weeks (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is a delightful pot porri of all things edible. It is the sort of book you can keep dipping into learing new facts on food and its history. There are quotes, cartoons and recipes. If you are compiling quizzes you will find lots here to test the best of minds and memories. Be warned. It will provoke the appetite.
