I received this book via a Goodreads giveaway. Physically it's a beast of a book, as befits an encyclopaedia and this gives it a pleasingly authoritative presence.

I didn't read this book cover to cover but have dipped into it when coming across a less familiar food item, wishing for a more detailed background on others or simply for random interest.

A great resource and source of pleasure for gastronomes with large bookshelves.

I recently added this massive volume to my editorial reference library and, now that I have, I'm wondering what took me so long. The illustrations are beautiful; the writing is elegant and comprehensive; and each entry is a joy to read. I was lucky enough to find a used copy in pristine condition. Now I just have to find a shelf strong enough to hold it. (

A great reference book to have, when you are looking up some relatively obscure plant or ingredient. (

Bought this in a bargain bookshop in Bloomsbury's Southampton Row. A really useful book by a major food writer. (

This is an essential reference work for the foodie who wants to know the history of the food they eat. This is not a book with recipes, but an encyclopedia of ingredients and foodstuffs. (
