Product Description

Product Description
"Larousse Gastronomique", the world's classic culinary reference book, is known worldwide for its authoritative and comprehensive collection of recipes. Originally created by Prosper Montagne and published in 1938, this essential addition to any kitchen has withstood the test of time and become an invaluable source of information for every enthusiastic cook and serious gastronome alike. Without the exaggeration and extravagant distractions of many of today's cookery titles, "New Concise Larousse Gastronomique" contains recipes, tips, cooking styles and origins for almost every dish in history. Developments in appliances, nutrition and culinary knowledge are all included. Packed with fascinating tips, this concise edition remains faithful to Prosper Montagne's original ideal: that a culinary panorama of the present day and a history of gastronomy could be created as a single work of reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inquisitive about food and receipes? This has all the answers., 22 Oct 2008
By Ian Williams "Amazombie" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this on a whim whilst shopping for another cookery book. It's a root and branch explanation of the history of ingrediants, origins of recipes and covers absolutely any dish you can think of, with the exception of far eastern food. If you love food you'll find this fascinating. If you want a reciepe then this book has it. It does have a strong French bias but I like that.
It's an encyclopedia and a wonderful reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Concise Larousse Gastronomique , 2 Mar 2009
By YWS (London, UK) - See all my reviews
No cook( whatever their cooking skill level)/ discerning diner should be without a copy of this book. It is a great encyclopedia to give the reader a description of any food / dishes and some recipies also.
