Barron’s Educational Series The New Food Lover's Companion 4th Edition Cook Book,
Model 9780764135774
The brand-new fourth edition of this widely praised reference guide has been
updated with new information for everyone, including lovers of ethnic foods
and health food aficionados. The authors have added many all-new entries on
exotic produce and other unusual ingredients. An earlier edition of The New
Food Lover’s Companion was hailed by Bon Appétit magazine as “one
of the best reference books we’ve seen, a must for every cook’s library.”
This new edition has even more to offer! Among the myriad foods and culinary
subjects defined and explained are cooking tools and techniques, meat cuts,
breads, pastas, international foods, cheeses, eggs and omelets, herbs and spices,
fruits and vegetables, candies and desserts, wines and cocktails, and literally
everything else related to good food and enjoyable dining. Handy and helpful
appendices cover a wide range of food-related topics. They include suggestions
for substituting recipe ingredients, high-altitude baking adjustments, a microwave
oven conversion chart, recommended safe cooking temperatures for various meats
and fish, a guide to reading food package labels, seasoning suggestions to enhance
favorite dishes, a food additives directory, and much more. The New Food Lover’s
Companion is a reference guide—not a cookbook—but it includes hundreds
of cooking tips plus an extensive bibliography of recommended cookbooks and
other food-related literature. Here in one volume is an invaluable companion
for cooks—and for everybody else who loves good food. More than 6,700 entries
plus line art that shows retail cuts of lamb, pork, beef, and veal.
