The latest addition to the Companion culinary series is dubbed the “deluxe” volume because of its expanded and restructured content updated by Ron Herbst in memory of his wife, Sharon Tyler Herbst, the original author. The book maintains its reputation as an encyclopedia of literally every dish, ingredient and spice imaginable, each featuring cross-references and a pronunciation guide—especially helpful for those with a fancy palate. This time around, Herbst organizes some of the more popular entries such as apples, beer, cookies and olives into their own glossaries appearing alphabetically throughout the book. Fans of the series will find this an obvious and welcome revision, this one with gold-gilded page edges. Quotes from famous chefs, diagrams of meat cuts and sketches on every page make this a solid companion for home cooks. (Nov.)

"How do you improve a classic? The Food Lover's Companion, first published in 1990 by wife and husband Sharon Tyler Herbst and Ron Herbst, has undergone many updates, but the latest edition is the only one that can claim

the term deluxe. "The previous four editions were soft-cover and a much different book size in terms that you

could fit in the palm of your hand," says Pat Hunter, an editor at Barron's. "We wanted more info in it than the

current book, so we included a whole bunch of new material that would enhance reader appeal." The updated

version includes quotes, tip boxes, information on basic techniques and expanded glossaries that explain the

many variations of apples, sausages, cheeses and so on. Not a cookbook, The Deluxe Food Lover's Companion is an accessible kitchen reference for everyone, from novice to chef, and features more than 6,700 entries. The authors spent years collecting the ultimate tricks from those in the food industry to update the volume, which is one of the most comprehensive collections about the kitchen trade available today. "The culinary world is

always changing, and methods of cooking have changed considerably as well," says Hunter. "We spent a lot

of time thinking about how to make a great book to begin with even better and more applicable to today's

at-home or professional chefs."
