Dictionary of food : international food and cooking terms from A to Z (2nd ed)

The Dictionary of Food is the indispensable companion for everyone who loves reading about food, or cooking it.

We live in a globalised world, and our tastes in food have widened dramatically in recent years.

The Dictionary of Food reflects this huge cultural shift.

Truly international in scope, it includes over 25,000 food terms from the classic regions such as France and Italy, but also from Afghanistan, Iceland, Iran, Lithuania, West Africa and Yemen.

With concise descriptions of dishes, ingredients, equipment, and techniques, it brings the world's cuisines, familiar and less familiar, within our grasp.
