Synopsis

No matter which cuisine you favor, to enjoy dining out to its fullest you must be able to understand the restaurant menu. And that is the specific function of Norman Krohns Menu Mystique: to explain those foreign menu terms that are commonly used but are not always fully understood. In this thoroughly researched culinary reference work, Mr. Krohn describes exactly how the dish under discussion is prepared (identifying the ingredients used), tells which sauces and/or side dishes traditionally accompany it, and specifies which wines or beverages are considered most compatible. For those who want even more information about the food they are ordering, Menu Mystique describes how, when, and where the dish originated. Included also are fascinating tidbits that the author has gleaned during his distinguished food service career in some of the worlds finest restaurants. This title, originally published in 1983, is available on-demand only.
