Editorial Reviews

*Starred Review* Food, glorious food is presented here in an informative and entertaining three-volume set. An update to the 2004 edition, this revision adds more than 500 new entries, and updates previous entries with current information. Culinary profiles of 30 American cities are also included. New topics cover the rise in popularity of organic farming and foods, the locavore movement, and food imports. The A–Z entries focus on particular foods and drinks, such as Acorn, Bialy, and Supawn; more general categories, such as Ale and Cake; and numerous American brands and companies. There are also brief biographies (Graham Kerr, Marion Nestle, Alice Waters) and descriptions of products and equipment (Dishwashing and cleaning up, Slow cooker). The signed entries range from a few paragraphs to several pages, and see also references are plentiful. Black-and-white illustrations are scattered throughout the text. Extensive bibliographic resources round out most entries, and there are separate general bibliographies for food and drink in volume 3. Other useful appendixes include a list of food periodicals; an extensive list of food websites; and directories of major food-related library collections, museums, and organizations. There is a detailed index and an excellent topical outline of articles. This set is highly recommended for most libraries—libraries owning the first edition will want to replace it with this new edition if funds allow. --Rebecca Vnuk
