Title: A sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating food guide
Review: This beautifully laid-out book has interesting information about caviar, oysters, and other gourmet treats. I've learned a lot about, and gained respect, for many culinary creations that I previously knew very little about. However, it is also dispiriting. For example, I am now discouraged from eating any American Oysters(according to Mr. Rosengarten, the only good ones are from France), and his chapter on Pecan Pie, betrays a palate that is maybe a little narrow and judgemental. In short, althought very informative, "Taste" left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.
