A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of food, from its fundamental role as the means to survival to its modern status as an art form. Never again confuse your sous chef with your sous vide, your roast wild mallard with your Maillard reaction, or your umami with your urumaki. Bask in the admiration of your fellow food lovers as you pronounce confidently on why Elizabeth David was unquestionably the greatest food writer Britain has ever produced and why tempura, vindaloo, and fish and chips are all Portuguese in origin. Above all, effortlessly hold your own against the sort of pompous foodie who emerged from the womb consulting a copy of Larousse Gastronomique. DO SAY (when the name of a chef comes up) Didn't he work at Noma under Redzepi and elBulli under Adrià? DON T SAY With food, it's the journey of discovery the gastronomic odyssey if you will that fuels my burning passion for it.
