    <![CDATA[At last, what every Westerner in a Japanese restaurant or market needs: the first truly comprehensive dictionary of Japanese food and ingredients.  Standard dictionaries can often mislead us--with akebia for akebi, sea cucumber for namako, plum for ume. Hosking's dictionary includes not only dishes and ingredients, everything from the delicate mitsuba leaf to the dreadful okoze fish: colorful appendices disclose such aspects of Japanese culture as the making of miso to the tea ceremony and the influence of vegetarianism.  <br/>With Japanese-English and English-Japanese sections,<em> A Dictionary of Japanese Food</em> explains the nuances and eliminates the mysteries of Japanese food.]]>

    <![CDATA[The 29 papers of the 2003 Symposium range over wide territory, from historical studies such - as baby-food in the Middle Ages and feeding the poor in the 19th century - to surveys of food in West Africa and the Philippines. Bringing us up to date are essays on the impact of fast food culture in America, and the counter-attack by the Slow Food movement. Fictional aspects of food are examined too, including literary picnics, fairy tales and meals in Utopia. The papers are edited by Richard Hosking. The papers comprise the proceedings of the 21st Oxford Symposium on Food &amp; Cookery, the longest running food history conference in the world.]]>

    <![CDATA[At the Japanese Table is a highly engaging guide to the Japanese way of eating, providing both social and historical background for what readers might encounter when visiting Japan or eating at authentic Japanese restaurants. Written by a contributor to the renowned Oxford Companion to Food,<br/>this book describes meals and menus, both formal and informal, along with the kitchens, cooking utensils and techniques, and even the many types of restaurants and dining rooms. The book reveals the cultural importance of fresh foods, raw foods, and rice, and describes the diverse connections<br/>between food and seasonality. It also discusses the aesthetics of the presentation of Japanese food, which can rival flavor in importance. Anyone with a taste for Japanese food, Japanese culture, or travel will find much to enjoy in this readable and informed guide.]]>
