Book Reviews of Larousse Gastronomique
Book Review: Library Staple
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this as a gift. What a monster. It has succinct detailed info about all aspects of French and other countries' cuisine. Goes way beyond recipes with info about food handling, preparation, storage, substitutions for ingredients. Lots of facts about how to use ingredients best and their roles in cooking. Lots of interesting history. There were 3 pages on butter! Great pictures in beautifully edited book. Of course, many excellent recipes. It has become one of the top references in our cooking library. We highly recommend this gem.
Summary of Larousse Gastronomique
Since its first publication in 1938, Larousse Gastronomique has been an unparalleled resource. In one volume, it presents the history of foods, eating, and restaurants; cooking terms; techniques from elementary to advanced; a review of basic ingredients with advice on recognizing, buying, storing, and using them; biographies of important culinary figures; and recommendations for cooking nearly everything.The new edition, the first since 1988, expands the book's scope from classic continental cuisine to include the contemporary global table, appealing to a whole new audience of internationally conscious cooks. Larousse Gastronomique is still the last word on b?chamel and b?arnaise, Brillat-Savarin and Bordeaux, but now it is also the go-to source on biryani and bok choy, bruschetta and Bhutan rice.
Larousse Gastronomique is rich with classic and classic-to-be recipes, new ingredients, new terms and techniques, as well as explanations of current food legislation, labeling, and technology. User-friendly design elements create a whole new Larousse for a new generation of food lovers.
