Product Description
A sumptuously illustrated guide to all aspects of caviar

Caviar takes the reader on an enticing gastronomic journey, as authorities Susie Boeckmann and Natalie Rebeiz-Nielsen reveal how to distinguish between the different varieties, how to serve caviar for optimum flavor and enjoyment, which drinks to offer alongside it, and more. Illustrated with fascinating archive material and gorgeous full-color photography, this book offers a complete range of enticing caviar recipes, from a simple boiled egg with caviar, to exotic canapés, to sushi combinations, to the Russian essential, blini with sour cream and caviar. It covers the history, production, presentation, and consumption of caviar. Plus, this wonderful book offers quick, easy introductions to the four major caviar varieties—Beluga, Osetra, Sevruga, and Golden Caviar.

Susie Boeckmann (London, UK), an established authority on caviar, has worked in the industry for more than a decade. Natalie Rebeiz-Nielsen (London, UK) is an acknowledged caviar expert and Director of the internationally renowned Caviar House. She has contributed her specialist knowledge of caviar to many newspapers and magazine articles.

From the Inside Flap
Caviar — food of the gods, and relished by lesser mortals too. For centuries the salted roe of the sturgeon has been highly prized — the ancient Phoenicians used caviar to sustain them in times of war and famine; Pliny and Ovid wrote about it; and the Russian Tsars and the Emperors of Manchuria reserved for themselves the delicate golden caviar.

Today caviar is widely available in a bewildering range of quantity, color and flavor. In Caviar Susie Boeckmann and Natalie Rebeiz-Nielsen reveal how to distinguish between the different varieties, how to serve it for optimum flavor and enjoyment, which drinks to offer alongside it; and even how caviar is considered a beauty treatment and aphrodisiac — not for nothing is it called "Aphrodite’s eggs".

Illustrated with fascinating archive material and sumptuous photography, the book offers a complete range of enticing caviar recipes from a simple boiled egg or jacket potato with caviar to exotic canapés, pasta, fish and sushi combinations and that Russian essential, blini with sour cream and caviar.

The art of eating and enjoying caviar has never been made easier.

2.0 out of 5 stars A nice coffee table book, November 20, 2002
By A Customer
This is a nice book but "The Definitive Guide" subtitle is misleading. This hardcover edition has 140 pages. 70 of these pages are receipes. Half of the remaining 70 pages are pictures. The 35 pages of text are an interesting blend of history and procedure. However, the credits in this book refer to a marine biologist in the Principality of Monaco, full access to the files of a major producer and many others. I didn't feel that there was much information in here that couldn't be gathered by secondary research at a library and some phone calls. An attractive and interesting book, great for a coffee table. Not a definitive guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Elegance and delicacy joined together in one word, Caviar, October 23, 1999
By A Customer
The content of this publication, gives all the information you may need to enter to the wonderful and priviledged world of caviar. The basics are very well sustained on a very deep investigation, and meticulous attention on every detail. Just wonderful
