5.0 out of 5 stars A culinary book written with enthusiasm and feeling, July 12, 1998
By A Customer
I very much enjoyed the stucture of the book. The historical introduction on olive oil is splendid. The chapters on processing, tasting, etc are the best yet on this subject in books of wide readership. Throughout the book one gets permeated by the author's contagious enthusiasm. The chapter on Spanish oils is accurate and fair.Illustrations are also of fine quality. The only blemish I was able to find was the frequent spelling mistakes in the original language of different recipes:"ajo blancho", "carne machada", "bagna calda" etc

4.0 out of 5 stars If you've got an olive tree in your yard, get this book., December 6, 1998
By A Customer
"The Essential Olive Oil Companion" isn't about oil only. It also explains the steps needed the convert those hard green fruit on your olive tree in delicious snacks and ingredients in Mediterranean recipes. If you've got an olive tree in your yard, orchard or garden, get this book.
