This exact book was gifted to me a couple decades ago but accidentally given away to charity - it was a heartbreaking discovery. To find another in pristine perfect condition as mine feels like my friend has come home. It is truly the culinary encyclopedia/Bible that can never be worn out or exhausted. Larousse Gastronomique has been revised numerous times (1988 is my favorite) because its incredible. Nope, ot is not a trendy cookbook full of trendy recipes and colorful pictures of dishes on wood plank backgrounds. Instead, the textbook format masterfully defines and explains those variable which never change - taste, flavor, spice, technique - for all skill levels. The seller generously explained that her husband treasured his cookbooks, had passed away and that she was now charged with selling the vast collection off. So this copy has landed in the right hands to be treasured and used for a lifetime. (Thank you Kathy for offering it.)Read full review

Best Dealer I have EVER had the pleasure of working with! Even though the mistake ON OUR PART, was awful and mind boggling... He made it super easy to fix & didn’t get ugly at all about it. In fact, made it fun. But, don’t be making mistakes like we did! ❤️
