"This three-volume encyclopedia, arranged A–Z, is designed to provide guidance to the "confusing world of food," with food scientists, scholars, and expert cookbook authors contributing more than 400 well-written entries, each supplemented with further readings and website lists. ...Individual entries, some quite short (literally bite-size) cover a fascinating variety of subjects. ...With such a great diversity of writings and recommended readings, this is a useful tool for all audiences."
"The entries themselves are interesting and informative and have cross-references and suggestions for further reading... I would recommend this book for all libraries and for anyone with a food interest."
This title is also available on SAGE Knowledge, the ultimate social sciences online library. If your library doesn’t have access, ask your librarian to start a trial.
