Have planned to purchase this book for years. I have coveted a copy owned by a friend. The price was right and the condition of the book is excellent.

Wonderful, fabulous Book
I was thrilled when I received this book and it was in excellent condition. The pages have everything you want to know about cooking, cooking terms, menus, recipes, and items that you wouldn't normally find in the common grocery store. It would take many years to cook everything that is included in this encyclopedia of cooking. So very happy I made this my choice.

The Ultimate Reference
Larousse Gastronomique is the definitive reference work for chefs and cooks interested in the classic European traditions, and presents an exhaustive range of information on its subjects.
This is an ultimate resource, covering two or three hundred years in the history of food, complete with recipes of even the most absurd old-fashioned dishes. There are art reproductions, stories of the great chefs, detailed analysis of every ingredient and dish; and recent editions include a great deal of world cuisine information too.
It is endlessly fascinating - just flip it open and you will be absorbed. I have just opened it to ?Honey? - Larousse tells me the amounts of water and sugar it contains, the varieties of imported honeys, how color is determined by the source flowers; how in ancient times honey was a symbol of wealth and happiness, used as both food and offering; how the Romans used it as a confectionary and condiment with a variety of foodstuffs, including pork with honey, mead, gingerbread; how to make grog; how it is a replacement for saltpetre in pickling brine; and so on - just to give an idea of its range.
This is a must-have on any foodie's bookshelf, and of course thoroughly recommended.
