Reviews

[Jeremy Thomas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not sure why I keep this in the days of the Internet.

Actually, I’ll chuck it now.

[Leonard Pierce · Rating 5 out of 5]

This, on the other hand, is a reference book that's easy to review: it's flat-out terrific, I'd say even indispensable. Alongside the Encyclopedia Gastronomique (also by Larousse), it's a perennial candidate for book I'd most want to take to a desert island.
