General Comments
Prosper Montagne Larousse Gastronomique: The World's Greatest Cookery Encyclopaedia is more for the enthusiastic cook rather than the beginner. This well-illustrated cooking encyclopaedia contains many illustrations, charts and maps and details almost every style of cooking that has ever existed. It also contains information on how nutrition has developed to what it is today and which kitchen appliances will work best for different recipes. A big and beautiful book. Recommended
