Reviews
Praise for previous editions. "From 'abalone' to 'zwieback,' Sharon Tyler Herbst lists nearly 6,000 culinary terms in the newly published third edition of her classic Food Lover's Companion . Hands down, it is the ultimate accessible cooking and dining reference book." --Mat Schaffer, Boston Herald , March 2001 " The New Food Lover's Companion is an updated version of this amazingly comprehensive encyclopedia of everything you ever wondered or will need to know about culinary terms and ingredients. My old copy is more dog-eared than any favorite cookbook, and referred to almost daily...Dedicated foodies can't do without it." --Susan Miller, The Home Monthly , May 2001 "If there's a culinary reference book that foodies reach for more often than Food Lover's Companion , we don't know what it would be. This mimi-tome is brimming with useful information on thousands of foods and terms, from abalone to zwei-back--including pronunciations (ZWI-bak, ZWI-bahk, SWI-bak, SWI-bahk). No surprise that the book has sold mor than 1 million copies since its debut in 1990...The new edition has 6,000 terms and a larger appendix. We especially like the pasta chart, which lists more than 100 pastas (with, thank goodness, pronunciations). Also added is a broadened pan substitution chart, expanded listings on soy foods, and more ethnic foods." --Renee Enna, The Chicago Times , June 2001

- r***i (228)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis 15” glass with embossed painted hearts plate arrived in 3 days from purchase & I was so glad. It was wrapped many times in small bubble wrap inside a good fitting box & came in perfect condition minus some areas needing cleaning. Seller communicated rapidly with me but said EBay set shipping rates, therefore, would not cut price but I wanted plate, agreed to shipping price & he sent it immediately. The plate price was near equal to shipping. This is a conscious Seller whom I recommend.Valentine Fused Glass 15" Heart Valentine Love Decor Platter Plate Red Pink (#326427606636)
