Review # 1 was written on 2011-01-17 00:00:00 Carol Mckissick I've said this before but like most encyclopedias this book has some boring entries as well as some great ones. The topic is fast food and junk food. Some entries are super brief.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-23 00:00:00 Jesse Villarruel This book is very helpful in breaking down ingredients one is likely to encounter in a standard South Asian cookbook. It is not a cookbook, but contains a few pages of recipes anyway. The book does a good job breaking down a masala and other mixes into their components. Particularly helpful are brand name suggestions and serving suggestions. I would like to have seen genus/species information on the plants, more alternative names of ingredients, and a much-expanded glossary. The tiny illustrations are essentially unhelpful. Last complaint: the print is too small for these sextuagenarian eyes. Its chief strength outweighs its drawbacks; when planning a dish requiring a trip to the store, this book really helps compile a proper shopping list.
