Cook's Companion
Author: Jo Swinnerton
Whether your tastes run to foie gras or french fries, this tasty compilation of the wise, the weird, and the faintly absurd will soon have you asking for more. An essential ingredient in any kitchen, The Cook’s Companion is stuffed with food facts, fiction, science, history, and trivia.
