Editorial Reviews

Review

`Review from previous edition a book that will interest the 'edible and non-edible' fat people alike ... If you eat, then you should enjoy reading the Benders' new dictionary ... Enjoy!' Lipid Technology, November 1995


Product Description

This dictionary is ideal for anyone who enjoys food and would like a handy, non-technical guide to the terms they encounter on food labels, in advertising, or in the media. All entries are fully revised for this brand new second edition. Food dishes from around the world are included, from accoub and fair maids to mushy peas and zakusa. With 6,000 entries on all aspects of food,nutrition, diet and health, the dictionary is invaluable to consumers, cooks, and a range of students and practitioners of catering, home economics, food technology, and health care. Ten appendices list food additives, vitamins, and nutrients, and clear guidance is also included on which foods are good sources of major nutrients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Buying, June 11, 2009
By Paula Cropper (Newnan, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is a little outdated, but the information inside it great. It is reader friendly and easy to find what you are looking for. I am studying to be a nutritionist and I have used this book many times. Every house should have one of these books on their bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Special Reference Book, January 12, 2007
By The Vet (Nevada County, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
If you are a foodie and you like to know some of the finer details, this is for you. Not a dictionary; more a trivia collection. But not really trivia as the info is solid and useful.
