Book Reviews of The Penguin Companion to Food
Book Review: Attention Food Lovers!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fascinating book. I find myself flipping from article to article and I have trouble putting it down. It is truly comprehensive, and well organized. It makes for fun reading, but is also a great reference if you come across some sort of obscure food item in a recipe or elsewhere.
