Book Reviews of Larousse Gastronomique
Book Review: Gastromonde to aspiring home cook
Summary: 5 Stars
A fantastic collection of information, useful for not only the master chef who needs a reference book, but for those of us seeking to push our home-bound skills to the next level. Larousse is the true encyclopedia of culinary knowledge. It is essential in any well-stocked kitchen, not because it will be pulled and perused daily, but because it can be that resource that saves a spoiled meal in the last minutes with its quick and accessible insights.Book Review: Better than I thought it was going to be
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is apparently famous in cooking circles, which is why I needed it for my cookery course at college. I was honestly pleasantly surprised with it, it had a lot of detailed colour photos, sections for each countries own unique foods, a lot of French and Continental cooking (of course). I could really recommend this book to anyone who is serious about cooking or even someone who is just curious about it.Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 4 Stars
If you ever wanted to know anything about food, cuisine, and cooking, the Larousse Gastronomique is the book to consult.
Since the first moment I have looked at the book, I am fascinated by this wonderful collection of culinary knowledge and trivia. Using the book in food preparation is a delight, particularly when you are fond of French centric cuisine. Warmly recommended.
Book Review: Thorough.
Summary: 5 Stars
A culinary encyclopedia for all things European, ancient and modern. Current version includes more world cuisine. Also, at $55 hardcover, this is a steal. Really more of a reference than a cookbook, although it does have some hundreds of recipes. English translation is slightly awkward at times, mostly in describing recipe steps, although still completely followable. Heavy book.Book Review: no food lover should be without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Trust the French to write a boatanchor of a book all about food. Larousse Gastronomique is an incredible collection of information about all things edible. Its great fun to read with color pictures of many things and it is a vast storehouse of food related facts and recipes. If you want a huge collection of Recipes, this is not your book. Get Joy of Cooking.
