Book Reviews of The New Food Lover's Companion
Book Review: Every Food Lover's Bible
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a MUST for all Foodies! Anything and EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about food, food preparation, origination, history, etc. I was turned on to the book at a restaurant when I asked our server what an "achiote" pepper was. Our server brought back HIS copy of The Companion and I IMMEDIATELY went to the bookstore and got one! Later, I got five copies for Christmas gifts. If you love food...you'll adore this book!Book Review: book review
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book because I enjoy food and food terminology. While I have done a superficial cover-to-cover read, I discovered that, while informative, I could have easily obtained all the enclosed information via a variety of websites. It makes me realize how reliant I have become on searching the web for information of any sort. In retrospect, I would not buy this book, albeit, fine on its own terms.Book Review: A must have for every kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
I was given this book years ago. Essential if you experiment in the kitchen. It's a great addition to the cookbooks in every aspiring chefs kitchen. If you like to experiment with new ingredients or a lot of ethnic foods it's a must. Every time I find a recipe with an ingredient I am unfamiliar with it comes in handy. This makes a nice "host gift" instead of a bottle of wine. A nice conversation piece.Book Review: Wonderful reference tool for the kitchen!

During lunch at a friend's home, the topic of discussion was about recipes and cooking terms. This friend had used the older version of The Food Lover's Companion to understand the recipe she was preparing. She passed the book around for us to see and several of us knew that we had to have one. It has been a terrific help when planning meals and experimenting with new things. It makes a great gift too!Book Review: Food Lovers WILL Love this Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my husband who is a cooking enthusiast and cook book reader. He loves this reference book. (I do too!) It is full of fun and useful information. Any term you need, just look it up. From absinthe to zwieback, you'll find out more about food terms than you thought possible. Makes a wonderful gift for any "foodie" in your life. Small and easily stored with a wipe off cover.
