The Fearless Gourmet by Norman Kolpas

The Fearless Gourmet is an epic journey for food lovers. Author Norman Koplas takes the reader along the highways and byways of the major food nations. Organised by cuisine, Kolpas gives the low down on all the intricacies of cooking and eating Italian, French, Spanish, Korean, Pacific, German and Moroccan to name but a few. Wander through the markets of the world and discover how the Spanish cure jamon serrano, the Moroccans grind fresh spices and the Italians distinguish the maturity of Parmesan cheese. Visit a German kitchen and learn when to eat wine soup and cold beer soup; in Norway savour the variations of gravlaks and in Japan discover how to get the best sushi. With The Fearless Gourmet at hand you will be able to order like a true gourmet whilst observing all the keen details of dining etiquette. No more quaking at sight of pollo in padella, a bourride or baba ghannooge. Highly informative, and amusing, here is the lexicon of everything you ever wanted to know about food and didn't dare ask.
