Review Dictionary of Italian Cuisine / Ecco:What is the difference between cappuccino and cafe-latte? What is an appoggiacoltello? How much is q. b. ?To find out the answers, look no further than Dictionary of Italian Cuisine, the first comprehensive Italian-English dictionary of Italian food terminolgy. This handy reference tool provides authoritative Italian terms and English definitions for everything you'll find in Italian cookbooks and menus. Entries cover Italian foods and ingredients, cooking utencils and techniques, menu and wine terms, adjectives commonly found in Italian recipes, Italian place names, and dishes from each of Italy's twenty regions. This lexicon is an invaluable, easy-to-use reference for anyone who needs to understand or use Italian food terminolgy - travelers, culinary professionals, and home cooks. Whether Italian food is your love, your life, or your passion, Dictionary of Italian Cuisine is a must for your cookbook shelf. So you know all about spaghetti and lasagne, and want to delve further? Look no further than the Dictionary of Italian Cuisine to guide you through the thorny brambles of Italian cooking terminology. Thanks to late unification and fierce regionalism, many dishes have very different names in different parts of the country, and (worse!) many names refer to wildly different foods. To help us avoid confusing broccolo with broccoli, translator/food writer Maureen B. [+]Fant and travel writer Howard M. Isaacs have teamed up to provide a comprehensive list of over 6,000 terms used throughout Italy, from a a'lunga to zuppiera. The pronunciation and usage guide, English-Italian index, and table of conversions will be sure to help the traveler, the exploring chef, and the Italophile in their quest for la dolce vita. -Rob Lightner.

Review The Art of Cookery in the Middle Ages / Boydell & Brewer:The master cook who worked in the noble kitchens of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries had to be both practical and knowledgeable. His apprenticeship acquainted him with a range of culinary skills and a wide repertoire of seasonal dishes, but he was also required to understand the inherent qualities of the foodstuffs he handled, as determined by contemporary medical theories, and to know the lean-day strictures of the Church. Research in original manuscript sources makes this a fascinating and authoritative study where little hard fact had previously existed.

Review The Wines Of Germany (Classic Wine Library) / Mitchell Beazley:Records of German wine shipments date back to the early 13th century—and yet, despite the fact that Germany’s wines are rich in history and renown, a large proportion of the wine-drinking public still looks down upon them. Multi-award-winning author Stephen Brook addresses the strange and complex question of why this has been so, focusing in on some controversial German wine laws and issues such as vineyard classification. In addition, he guides wine lovers to the top vintages and producers and the best vineyard sites, and discusses a wide range of grape varieties and lesser-known wine styles. .
