Publishers Text

The Fearless Gourmet is an epic journey for food lovers. Norman Koplas takes the reader along the highways and byways of the major food regions: European, African, Middle Eastern, Asia and The Americas. Organized by cuisine, Kolpas gives the low down on all the intricacies of cooking and dining. Wander through the markets of the world and discover how the Spanish cure use saffron, the Moroccans eat Bastilla, the Italians use different kinds of pasta in the pasta shape glossary and the Chinese serve and season dim sum. Understand the nuisances of fish sauce in different Asian countries; learn the history of Churrascarias in Brazil, and in Hawaii discover how to choose fish like the locals and prepare lomi lomi or poke. With The Fearless Gourmet at hand you will be able to order like a true gourmet whilst observing all the keen details of dining etiquette. Highly informative, and amusing, here is the answer to everything you ever wanted to know about food, but were too afraid to ask.
