Title: Lush and informative, a bit pretentious
Review: This set of 2 books is an exceptionally splendid and easy to read catalogue of european foods. However, a France/Belgium are grossly overrepresented (yes, I am not enthusiastic about the popular belief of Gallic culinary superiority), while smaller nations got the boot...some pan-european foods seem to have simply been tucked into the first convenient section...the section on Russia is somewhat lacking and the dishes are misspelled. Still, a very lovely and useful set.
