297. Eatymology: The Dictionary of Modern Gastronomy by Josh Friedland

 

BOOK REVIEW: Eatymology - The Dictionary of Modern Gastronomy by Josh Friedland

The culinary world is full of terms and words that set tongues wagging and mouths salivating. However, words are not reduced to just fleur de sel and chuck of beef. Every year, some word is invented to describe food and drink in its many facets.

This book demystifies the most fascinating new food words to emerge from today's professional kitchens, food science laboratories, pop culture, the web and more.

With 100 definitions, illustrations and fun food facts and statistics on everything from bistronomy to wine raves, this book shows you why it's absolutely imperative to adopt a coffee name and what it means to be gastrosexual, and is the perfect gift from everyone from foodiots to brocavores.

I absolutely enjoyed the book from cover to cover and personally I was so intrigued to find out the number of words related to F&B. Try gifting this book for Valentines to a fellow foodie, he or she might just love you that little bit more.
