"In this book, Elizabeth Gordon, former editor of House beautiful, gives the reader a broad view of the food lore and cooking principles of our western civilization. She traces the influence of trade, travel, colonization, climate, and religious taboos on the development of various cuisines over the centuries. In addition to 320 recipes, the book includes expert advice on reading foreign menus and ordering classic dishes of many countries."--Jacket.
