Great addition to a delightful Genre. A foodie must read.
`The Cook and the Gardner' by the young culinary journalist who has added a thoroughly enjoyable chronicle of seasonal cooking and gardening to that very small niche of books joining horticulture with gastronomy. The only other recent volume in this very small corner of culinary writing is `The Arrows Cookbook', a work dealing with the vegetable and herb garden attached to a three season Maine ...

The best Indian Cookbook I have
Review title says it all. The recipes are long and quite involved - but easy enough to follow. The results are well worth the time invested. As a Brit living in an Indian cuisine desert (Minnesota, US) this book saves my sanity. Buy it. Build it. enjoy!

The Politics and Economics of Olives and Olive Oil
This delightful book by an American journalist based in France is much more about the geopolitics, history, and economics of olive growing than about the culinary role of olives and it's oil. It is also much more about olive oil than it is about the fruit, especially since commerce in the oil dwarfs trade in the fruit. Aside from it's being especially well written, it benefits most from it's ...

Great book for the wrapping-challenged!
This book is wonderful. It's funny, easy to understand and has unique and unusual ideas for wrapping gifts. For those like me who have historically resorted to gift bags and tissue paper, rather than attempting to wrap anything, this book is the resource you need to impress your friends!

Comfort food: plenty of dishes that are good with a pint
Trish Hilferty was (and perhaps still is?) chef at London's legendary gastropub, The Eagle. She's the first to tell you that she doesn't like the "gastropub" name, since she believes that such restaurant-pubs are "what a pub should be" rather than a different category. However, the author also acknowledges that the term makes an easy soundbyte for pubs that give full attention to the quality of ...

Christie's World Encyclopedia of Champagne and Sparkling Wine

Tom Stevenson

Absolute Press, 1998

Excellent overall with many minor glitches
He has a thoroughly enjoyable writing style (especially the puns) with superb information. I use the book very frequently when purchasing. These errors are minor but the sheer quantity of them seems inexcusable, especially in an encyclopedia and in an edition that has been "fully revised and updated". *The book does not explain the difference between "organic" and "bio-diversity" and the ...

Tequila

Enrique Martinez Limon

Absolute Press, 1999

An exquisite tribute to tequila and Mexico
Limon's warm, often poetic text is well-complemented by Calderwood's beautiful photography. This coffee-table book presents not just tequila, but Mexico. It is a tribute to the people who make it, to the land where the agave grows, and to tequila's place and role. This is not an in-depth guide like Cutler or Emmons offers, but it embraces the variety and depth of tequila's rich culture in Mexico. ...
