Oil: Culture, Pleasure, Wellbeing

by André Dominé (Editor)

Since word has gotten around about how appetizing and healthy Mediterranean cuisine is, and due to olive oil, in particular, a cult has developed around this flavorful oil. This illustrated book concentrates to a large extent on the olive tree, its fruit, its oil, as well as the origins and qualities, aromas and skillful use of the oil. But the author and photographer go far beyond that. They also devote their attention to other plant-based and essential oils and their exquisite qualities, whether in the kitchen or for health and beauty, in beautiful images and informative texts.
